The lyrical content of "To Love Somebody" dissects the silver lining of losing relationships. She was inspired after witnessing a close friend's heartbreak and wanted to flip the narrative to "at least you got to love somebody". "To Love Somebody" is a thematic and sonic shift for Humberstone and was praised by critics. DIY billed it "a bittersweet earworm of a track", with Atwood writer Mitch Mosk saying that he cried "happy tears" upon his first listen.
