“Your Name Hurts” is the second track on Hailee Steinfeld’s EP "Half Written Story". It’s about how a significant other let her down and left her and even the person’s name hurts her. She hopes that in turn, her name hurts her ex as well.
"'Okay, so, you know when you’re thinking about buying a certain car, and then as you’re driving around, suddenly it’s the only car you see? Like it’s everywhere? And you’re like, has it always been that way or is it because it’s the one I’ve got my eye on? Well, breakups can be like that—all of a sudden, that person is everywhere, in the most random places, as if you’re manifesting it but you’re also running from it. I wanted to write a song about how something as simple as a person’s name can go from being the one word that lights you up inside—making your heart skip a beat when you see it on your phone, putting the most ridiculous smile on your face—to something that suddenly…makes you nauseous. It stings. It hurts. It hits different. This song is about something so simple turning on you, and never really being the same.'"
