Juliana, in an interview with Allyson McCabe for The Rumpus on 19 April 2018, on her interpretation of lust in “Physical”:

I think it’s more of a dangerous, damaging impulse. That’s what I’m exploring in my version of the song—lust as frustrating and unwelcome, me pushing against it rather than being playful about it.
