Inspired by toxic relationships with manipulative partners, “crawl” is a vulnerable yet sassy take on succumbing to intrusive thoughts caused by jealousy. I’ve unfortunately been involved with people who thrived on creating a jealous environment – it was almost like they took pleasure from hurting me with the possibility of being unfaithful. This song was written from the perspective of being consumed by the jealous and fearful thoughts as a result of being gaslit – and it felt like therapy to fully acknowledge the pain and damage that can be caused by mind games from a toxic partner. I hope this song reminds listeners to never accept anything other than what they deserve when it comes to a relationship – it isn’t worth it to chase after someone who makes you feel any less than the incredible and worthy person you are.
“crawl” is a vicious, chaotic pop observation at the dangers of jealousy within a toxic and volitale relationship. The track’s sharp comparison between ominous and ferocious instrumentals, mirrors how smooth it is to succumb to insanity at the same time as looking to navigate an toxic and manipulative relationship.
The song’s production is a masterful fusion of electronic elements and pop sensibilities, creating a dynamic and immersive experience. Margø’s ability to experiment with unconventional sonic textures, like water dripping sound effects and electronic drums paired with an edgy guitar chorus sets “Crawl” apart from the mainstream, showcasing her commitment to pushing the boundaries of the alt-pop/pop-rock genre.
