Background and commercial performance

"Moral of the Story" was originally released on Valentine's Day 2019 ahead of the release of Ashe's second EP, Moral of the Story: Chapter 1 (2019). The song was co-written and co-produced by five-time Grammy-winner Finneas O'Connell,[2] and also features an uncredited lyrical contribution from his sister, Billie Eilish.[3] The song made its world radio airplay premiere on KYSR on 21 February 2020.[4] The song also became popular on the video-sharing platform TikTok, where it has been used in over 900 thousand videos as of June 2020.[5]

By the time the song had debuted at number 71 on the Billboard Hot 100, it had gained 9.7 million US streams and 4 thousand downloads.[6] As a result of the song's success, Ashe debuted at number six on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart.[6]

Composition and lyrics

"Moral of the Story" is in 4
4 common time, in the key of B-flat major, with a moderate tempo of 120 beats per minute.[7] Ashe's vocal range spans from the low note F3 to the high note of G5, giving the song two octaves and one note of range.[7]

In 2018, Ashe wrote "Moral of the Story" after filing for divorce, in an attempt to try and make sense of why the relationship failed.[8] She told Earmilk:[9]

It's hard to accept when you've made a mistake in love or life. But realizing all those mistakes have made you who you are and have helped shape the life you're in you puts a different light on things.

Critical reception

"Moral of the Story" was described by Gregory Castel of Earmilk as a "sobering love ballad with attention-grabbing lyrics" which Ashe has written with "captivating satire and vulnerability".[10]

Music video

The song's music video, which has gained over 36 million views on YouTube,[11] was released with the single and was noted to have a Walter Wick-inspired aesthetic.[10]
