Promotion and release

St. Vincent initially composed the song for inclusion on her eponymous album released in 2014, but the song did not make the album's final track listing.[3] A snippet of the song was used prior to its official release during the fourth season of the HBO television series Girls, in the episode "Tad & Loreen & Avi & Shanaz".[4][5] St. Vincent performed the song live for the first time on April 6, 2015 on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon;[5][6] and the song was officially released via iTunes on April 7.[1]

Critical reception

The song has received positive reviews. Sharan Shetty of Slate called the song "wistful" and "a pensive coming-of-age tune".[3] Chris DeVille of Stereogum also praised the song, further stating that it is "more moody and straightforward" than St. Vincent's previous work.[7]
