Third interlude of the album, “fresh bruises” is yet another electronic infused record. With an eerie and bass-heavy instrumental. Oliver demands to his lover a few things that he wants in his relationship, avoiding to get hurt once more. “fresh bruises” also samples the opening intro of “Can You Feel My Heart” in the verse.

Oliver talked to Apple Music going further in depth about the song:

This was a very organic song, it came very naturally. It was one we just wanted to make—a song that wasn’t verse, chorus, verse, chorus, but more of an electronic vibe. The kind of music I listen to is like that, centered around a hook, and it has a drop and it has a buildup. Not in an EDM sense, but more like lo-fi electronic, avant-garde. It just felt cool to make something more jammy and free like that.
