“the car” shares glaive’s experience with a girl who’d been cheating on her boyfriend. As everyone involved goes through mixed emotions, the girl makes it unclear who she wants as her and glaive get together. As the chorus reflects on the girl’s words, the verses are used to describe how glaive and the cheating victim feel, making him feel more guilty for being the partner in crime. As the story goes on, glaive is set back into reality, where the girl was never his as he looks back on his father’s words.

The song was first teased through a tweet by glaive on December 14, 2022 with a draft of the lyrics, which he then quoted the next day claiming that he changed the lyrics “to be more to his life,” twisting the song into his perspective. The song was first previewed months later when a 15 second clip would surface from an unofficial source, and was first officially previewed on glaive’s TikTok in late June. The song’s runtime and place on the tracklist would then be made public through Apple Music, where the song’s release date was found in the source code a week prior to the drop. Two days prior to its release, glaive confirmed on his Instagram story that “the car” would be the final single off the album.
