Interesting facts and trivia about Moral of the Story. By Songfacts®.

Ashlyn Rae Willson is a San Jose, California singer-songwriter who records under the name of Ashe. She put an "e" on her stage moniker to pay homage to one of her major inspirations, Carole King. Ashe attended Berklee College of Music, graduating with a major in contemporary writing and production in 2015. For the next two years, she specialized in dance and house music, collaborating with the likes of Louis the Child' ("Right to It") and Shaun Frank ("Let You Get Away"). Ashe also inked a music publishing deal and helped Demi Lovato write her 2017 single "You Don't Do It For Me." After signing to Mom + Pop independent label, Ashe released her debut EP The Rabbit Hole. This song is from her second EP, Moral of the Story: Chapter 1.

Ashe penned the song after filing for divorce, as she tried to make sense why the relationship failed. She concludes that, "In the end, it's better for me." Speaking to Earmilk, Ashe explained: "It's hard to accept when you've made a mistake in love or life. But realizing all those mistakes have made you who you are and have helped shape the life you're in you puts a different light on things."

Billie Eilish's brother and songwriting partner Finneas co-wrote and co-produced the track. Finneas and Ashe both have the same management company (Best Friends) so have known each other for several years. They met up for coffee in Highland Park, Los Angeles one day and afterwards, Ashe played Finneas the rough demo of "Moral of the Story." He immediately came up with some ideas for the song.
