Berbeda dengan lagu cinta lainnya yang dirilis pada hari kasih sayang, "Selfish" justru menjadi balada patah hati yang dibalut dengan pop bertempo lambat.
Beer seakan mengingatkan akan hidup yang tidak melulu soal cinta yang indah dan romantis, namun juga banyak kepahitan yang timbul karena cinta.
Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu "Selfish" dari Madison Beer.
