“i finally understand” is the third single from Charli’s quarantine album how i’m feeling now.
The track was first teased by Charli on her Instagram story on April 15, 2020, where she also revealed that the track was produced by Palmistry. She teased additional lyrics for the song on Twitter short...
[Intro]
Oh
Oh, oh
Baby, lately
Baby, yeah
[Verse 1]
The walls are all gone, did we melt 'em down? (Baby)
Liquid in my hands, liquid in my mouth (Oh)
Footage on my phone, did it with your tongue (Oh)
And now we're sticking close, and I understand
[Chorus]
That baby, I love you bad
'Cause lately, I finally understand
That maybe this feeling that I've found
Might kill me, put me in the ground
[Verse 2]
I finally understand, finally understand
My therapist said I hate myself really bad
You tell me it's fine, let me cry and hug it out
[Chorus]
That baby, I love you bad
'Cause lately, I finally understand
That maybe this feeling that I've found
Might kill me, put me in the ground
[Break]
'Cause lately
[Verse 3]
Liquid in my hands, liquid in my mouth
Got me drippin' out, got me drippin' out
Many nights gone, finally understand
I finally understand, I finally understand
Feel it in my core and the feeling's raw
You love me even when I hate myself, I'm sure
[Chorus]
That baby, I love you bad
'Cause lately, I finally understand
That maybe this feeling that I've found
Might kill me, put me in the ground
Baby, I love you bad
'Cause lately, I finally understand
That maybe this feeling that I've found
Might kill me, put me in the ground
[Outro]

Charli XCX released i finally understand on Thu May 07 2020.
Yes. Charli followed the same highly-interactive cover art process with her fans as she did with the first two singles off of how i’m feeling now, “forever” and “claws.”
She again allowed her fans to help pick the artwork’s photographic basis for all of the cover arts, giving fans three choices to...
In a May 2020 Beats 1 interview with Zane Lowe, Charli said:
The song is basically about [how] me and my boyfriend are quarantined together during this time. I’m conscious that I’ve spoken about this a lot and I don’t want people to be like, ‘Shut up about your boyfriend.’ [But] I’m writing about w...
This one includes the line ‘My therapist said I hate myself real bad.’ She’s getting a lot of shout-outs on this album, isn’t she? I like that this song feels very different from anything I’ve ever explored. I’d always wanted to work with Palmistry [South London producer and artist Benjy Keating]—we...
