The single takes the perspective from one of their stories as Jacque found herself understanding her one friend's perspective. Lyrics including, "You know that you can be bad / From the start, ripping hearts, saying your glad / That you’re built this way, great as day, it’s not you, it’s always on them / I only asked you for some courage, no one’s perfect, like a rose on a stem," show how unhealed trauma can damage a relationship. Musically, "Solar" features lush cinematic string arrangements, downtempo beats and Jacque's otherworldly and enticing vocals. Bittersweet melodies and melancholic bass are also highlighted in this exquisite emotional letter.
