Lirik lagu "Wildflower" menggambarkan kompleksitas emosi yang dialami oleh tokoh dalam lagu tersebut. Perasaan bersalah, cemburu, dan kerinduan yang kuat bercampur dengan kesadaran bahwa hubungan yang sedang dijalani mungkin tidak sepenuhnya tulus, karena bayang-bayang masa lalu terus menghantui.
Lagu "Wildflower" menjadi trek kelima dalam album ketiga Billie Eilish bertajuk "Hit Me Hard and Soft" yang dirilis pada 17 Mei 2024, melalui Darkroom dan Interscope Records. Lagu "Wildflower" diciptakan oleh Eilish bersama saudara laki-lakinya Finneas O'Connell dengan lirik sebagai berikut;
Things fall apart
And time breaks your heart
I wasn't there but I know
She was your girl
You showed her the world
But fell out of love and you both let go
She was crying on my shoulder
All I could do was hold her
Only made us closer
Until July
Now, I know that you love me
You don't need to remind me
I should put it all behind me
Shouldn't I?
But I see her in the back of my mind
All the time
Like a fever
Like I'm burning alive
Like a sign
Did I cross the line?
Well, good things don't last (Good things don't last)
And life moves so fast (Life moves so fast)
I'd never ask
Who was better
'Cause she couldn't be
More different from me
Happy and free in leather
And I know that you love me (You love me)
You don't need to remind me (Remind me)
Wanna put it all behind me
But, baby
I see her in the back of my mind (Back of my mind)
All the time (All the time)
Feels like a fever (Like a fever)
Like I'm burning alive (Burning alive)
Like a sign
Did I cross the line? (Cross the line)
You say no one knows you so well
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Valentine's Day crying in the hotel
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
And I wonder
Do you see her in the back of your mind?
In my eyes?
You say no one knows you so well
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Valentine's Day crying in the hotel
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
