The song is a deeply personal account of heartbreak and betrayal .

While initially part of his 2019 project, it has seen various official releases on streaming platforms, including a notable single release on July 5, 2020 .

Beyond the romance, the song touches on the harsh realities of growing up in New York, using metaphors like "bullet holes could mess up your clothes" to symbolize emotional wounds.

The track was produced by CorMill , a producer from Florida known for atmospheric, guitar-driven trap beats.

Written by Justin Irvin Rivera (J.I) and Corliss Waitman .

The lyrics explore the internal conflict of treating someone well only to have that kindness unreciprocated, leading to a defensive "I treated you good when nobody would" stance. J.I. - "Blame On Me" (Official Music Video)

J.I dedicated the track to an ex-partner who broke his heart, using the lyrics to detail the specific pain of that fallout.
