Jeremy talked about this song on the 2020 interview with The Zack Sang Show:

I wasn’t feeling any type of way when I wrote it, where we started writing the chorus chronologically, and I just relate to the chorus on so many levels, and have for a long time, because it’s really hard for me, and I’m really picky when it comes to having feelings for somebody, not that I can control it. I feel I let people down, even though it’s not my fault that I don’t reciprocate those feelings, but it was this realization of “maybe if I stop going down that road for a while, I’ll stop letting people down”. This song helped me move past this feeling, as it illuminated that issue, where the emotional release of having it on a song lifts the burden.

Jeremy also talked about how he experimented and tried to make it his own compared to how his other songs:

Supercuts is a very different song. If you listen to the first 30 seconds of the song, with just the acoustic guitar, the drums and the base, and my vocals, that sorta of how the whole song was panned out. The first chorus sorta stays that way. The whole rest of the song, with like the big instrumentation and the acoustic guitar, the shakers, and stuff like that is everything I added to make it more acoustic and indie. We also added this beautiful piano that made it moody. These are the parts that made it feel like a song of mine.

Jeremy explained it in his 2020 interview with The Zack Sang Show:

I was sort of mad at the “Well alright” line, because I couldn’t think of anything to fill that space, and “well alright” fit so well. So I was like, well alright, we’ll use that word. We called it supercuts, because it was the funniest fucking part of the song. I probably went to supercuts once or twice in middle school, and I don’t know, to me, it defines everything that is mediocre about living in the suburbs.
