The track is accompanied by a lyric video of Kirby creating a wedding make-up tutorial when the theme of your wedding is “getting ready to make a bad decision".

"I wrote this at a moment I was witnessing the gory breakdown of several relationships/couples all at the same time,” Kirby explains. “I don’t really want to invoke the word 'heteropessimism' here, but I guess it’s about something like it, or just about commitment in general. It all seems like such an incredibly risky idea? I’m feeling less dark about it these days but I also fell in love with someone recently, so have tried to think about it less."

"Hand To Hand" follows previous singles, "Cubic Zirconia" – her first release in two years – and "Table". Blue Raspberry is the follow-up to her 2021 debut album, Cool Dry Place.
