Background and composition[edit]
"I'm in Love Without You" was written and produced solely by Finneas.[1] It was released for digital download and streaming through record label DRUP on September 1, 2017 .[2] In an interview with Atwood Magazine, Finneas explains that "New Girl", "I’m in Love Without" and "Break My Heart Again" were "all these songs that from the moment I started writing them to the time I recorded them it was a short period of time because I usually get obsessed with things like that and normally whatever else I had planned for that day goes out the window, if I feel like I have an idea I have to finish".[3]
Musically, the track utilizes hip-hop influences in the instrumentation.[4] The song first started with twenty layers of harmony that was inspired by the Beach Boys, the Beatles and Queen's number one hit "Bohemian Rhapsody".[4] It features minimalist production that consists of handclaps and bass.[4][5] Finneas told Ones to Watch that the bridge was created by putting the chorus in reverse, "Billie was sending her friend a Snapchat and put the reverse filter on while we were working on the song, so I took every vocal from the chorus and reversed them and washed them out with reverb to create the bridge".[4] Lyrically, Finneas wonders about the aftermath of ending a relationship and is ex feels about him.[5]
