"Blind" is a song about a toxic relationship. SZA's man plays on her weaknesses and her past, and she's hurting. Inside she's conflicted; nice guys don't attract her and the singer is in love with her dysfunctional boyfriend. She knows he's no good for her but still lusts after him.

She performed the whole song live for the first time on the December 3, 2022 episode of Saturday Night Live.
