About this song
- In an interview with Pitchfork, Lucy Dacus spoke about her song Please Stay: "If you’ve ever been a friend to someone who doesn’t think they should continue living and you are trying with everything at your disposal to tell them otherwise, everything feels like fair game. Do anything with your life, ruin it, but don’t end it, just stay another day—that kind of thing. I’ve had a lot of friends throughout my life that have contemplated or committed suicide, and I’ve been involved to varying degrees, as someone they can talk to or be physically around. The sense of clarity in situations like that is so profound, like the only thing that matters is that you’re here." It is widely speculated by fans that this song is about Julien Baker. The track features both Julien and Phoebe Bridgers in its harmonies. As part of what is sometimes referred to as the "boygenius trilogy," Please Stay was recorded in Nashville on the same day as Julien's Favor and Phoebe's Graceland Too, which also feature the trio's vocals. .
