In a track-by-track walk-through of Honey with Pitchfork, Robyn described the inspiration behind the track:

Pitchfork: There’s a robotic sensibility to the lyrics on this song: “You know we’re the same kind/A dying race.”

Robyn: I had just read the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari and I was inspired by the way that he described our relationship to animals. He wrote about what the future will be like, and how is AI going to treat us. The only other relationship we have with another form of life that would be similar to how AI would relate to us is how we treat to animals. So I wrote the song as if AI had taken over the world, and the human beings were the minority. AI will do everything better than us, maybe even have emotions. What is it that’s so special about us really? And if you take that away, is there any value still left in being human? I think the value is being connected to other people.
