A defiant take on the aftermath of a breakup, “abcdefu” stands as an empowering female anthem. The track is the fifth single of GAYLE’s music career and the debut release with her“dream”label,Atlantic Records. Eventually, the single became part of her debut EP,a study of the human experience volume one.
Throughout the song, GAYLE sings about a particular breakup that she went through and the real feelings it evoked in her. Initially, GAYLE wanted to be the bigger person and be considerate towards her ex, but her unfiltered feelings inevitably escape her. She literally and figuratively spells them out.
