In her upcoming song, unrequited love is likened to an “unpaid debt”, hence the title. Here, the debt represents the emotional weight and challenges faced in relationships where the other person refuses to commit. The term “unpaid” suggests that the singer feels unable to move on or resolve the situation, possibly due to their own struggles with self-worth or feelings of inadequacy. It captures a sense of longing and frustration, reflecting the difficulty of letting go when love is not reciprocated.
