On the tenth track of "Superache", Gray, after being rejected, dejectedly accepts his place in his crush’s life, equating himself to a footnote.
A footnote is a short bit of extra information printed at the bottom of a page in a book. With Gray comparing himself to it, he both recognizes the little importance he has in his crush’s mind and shows that regardless of their feelings towards him, he is so attached that he is willing to take what he can get.
This song is thematically similar to “The Cut That Always Bleeds”, one of the most heartwrenching songs on Gray’s debut album, 2020’s "Kid Krow". On both songs, he seems to be willing to stand at their beck and call, ready whenever his crush is willing to give him attention.
"‘Footnote,’ selfishly, is my favorite song in the entire album. It scratches this itch that I’ve never heard scratched before, if that makes any sense. It’s not a song about the big dramatic heartbreak and the screaming and the slamming doors and crying. It’s not about that. It’s about the aftermath. When your ex ends up writing the story of their life, you’re just going to be a tiny little footnote at the bottom of a page. So much of love, of music is about the big and the loud. This song is about the quiet realization that you’re just going to have to take a step back and let them go."
