Hawke says about the single, “In this strange moment in our human history, I’m putting out a song. ‘By Myself’ was written in the wake of my twentieth birthday party. I suppose it’s about projecting ideas you have about yourself onto other people. You perceive yourself as being in these toxic relationships with others, and get all worked up about them, but sometimes it really just means you have a toxic relationship with yourself. Talking to the mirror. Self-obsession and self-victimization, all at the same time. But it also has a secret joy in it somewhere. It’s all still fun I guess, at least for a little while longer. I’m getting better.”
