The song poignantly addresses the shame, rejection, and liberation that come with moving on.

Leah Jane further elaborates on the song’s essence, describing “Scarlet Letter” as a reflection on the isolation and judgment faced after revealing her vulnerabilities. The track discusses the consequences of being ostracized and labeled, shedding light on themes of slut-shaming and the hypocrisy of certain self-proclaimed feminists. “It’s a song about slut shaming, about the modern fake-feminist, nail-painting fuck-boy,” Leah Jane asserts, highlighting the song’s relevance to contemporary social issues.
