Background and composition

[edit]

"Blood in the Cut" was written by K.Flay, JT Daly, and Lena Kwan Simon and produced by Daly. The lyrics of the song describe a breakup and its violent effects. K.Flay further described the background of the song in an interview with IHeartRadio:[4]

"Blood in the Cut" started as a breakup anthem. I wrote the lyrics and the riff in 20 minutes, and I was actually at home for Christmas, so I was in my parents' basement doing that. I was in a somewhat dark emotional place. I wrote that, and I immediately felt filled with this vigor that I had previously been missing. And then producing the song, just embracing that spirit of release in the chorus.

— K.Flay
