Promotion

[edit]

Rexha revealed the cover art and release date on social media on February 7, 2019, after teasing the title and its initials "LH" for a period of time.[2] The cover art depicts Rexha, in close-up and in a red light, wearing a crown of thorns.[3] She performed the song on Live with Kelly and Ryan on February 25 at the Dolby Theatre after the 91st Academy Awards ceremony.[4] She performed the song again on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on March 4.[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

Mike Wass of Idolator called the track "an instantly catchy banger about making better choices" with a "defiant" chorus, saying that "Anyone with a self-destructive streak or knack for making bad decisions will feel every word."[5]
