“Killer” is the oldest song on the album that Kali wrote in her Subaru Forester when she was 17. Kali was living out of her car at the time, due to a rocky relationship with her father that resulted in her being kicked out of the house. She was also in a toxic relationship from ages 15 to 19.

[Verse 1]
Baby, have you got no soul?
Is your heart a gaping hole?
How come I didn't see that in you?
How come I can forgive you?
And if you loved me, you'd never do this

That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
That makes you a killer, a killer, a killer
That makes you a killer, that makes you a killer
