Styles' tender song is about chosen family.
and its ever-changing meaning, exploring themes of belonging, love, physical connection, loneliness, and the chosen family you gain as you grow older in life. This latter theme is explored on the track “Matilda,” the intimate, plucky guitar song that’s quietly emerged as a fan-favorite and album standout.
“I had an experience with someone where, in getting to know them better, they revealed some stuff to me that was very much like, ‘Oh, that’s not normal, like I think you should maybe get some help or something,’” Styles told Lowe of writing “Matilda.” “This song was inspired by that experience and person, who I kind of disguised as Matilda from the Roald Dahl book. I played it to a couple of friends and all of them cried. So I was like, ‘Okay, I think this is something to pay attention to.
When the song’s first chorus comes in, growing with additional sentiments as the song goes on, it’s clear that this is the backbone of the song. “You can let it go/ You can throw a party full of everyone you know/ And not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love/ You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' up,” he sings directly to the subject of the song.
