Billie Eilish also spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music's New Music Daily about the track. She said, "As much 'my future' is a song about personal growth and being content, it's now, more than ever, I listen to it; I'm like, 'Wow, this is actually is super relevant to right now.' And our future as a world and as a people and I... It's crazy when you can get to a point in life where hope itself feels hopeless," she said. "It feels hopeless to hope for stuff. Should you even be wishing? Should you even be hopeful? It's like, is it even worth it? That's insane, but that's where we are at this point. We can't... We need the music. We need the hope."

“We wrote this at the very beginning of quarantine,” Eilish said in an email to fans on release day. “It’s a song that’s really, really personal and special to me. When we wrote this song, it was exactly where my head was at — hopeful, excited and a crazy amount of self-reflection and self-growth. But recently it has also taken on a lot of new meaning in the context of what’s happening in the world now. I hope you can all find meaning in it for yourselves.”
