Composition

Regarding the song, Theo Hutchcraft declared to NME: “It’s a song about fear and doubt. It emerged as a beautiful moment of clarity during one of the most troubled periods of making the album.” For the same publication, Adam Anderson called the track “a perfect storm of everything we do well individually, coming together in one moment”.{{cite news|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/hurts-share-new-track-redemption-and-its-brooding-video-2709077|title=Hurts share new track 'Redemption' and its brooding video|author=Richards, Will|date=July 16, 2020|accessdate=April 27, 2021|publisher=NME}}
