創作背景

比莉·艾利什表示，該曲算是給那些愛占人小便宜的人的公開信，特別是男性，她很希望人們可以不只去深思她提的究竟是哪些特定人物，因為重點並不在於要去對特定人物指名道姓上，只是多數女性都曾有過令人不舒服或者特別糟糕的經驗，連男生都有可能碰上，所以她只希望自己內心真正想說的話能被聽見就好了。她希望這首歌能啟發聽眾作出改變，並且不要濫用力量和權力。

歌曲歌詞

Try not to abuse your power

I know we didn't choose to change

You might not wanna lose your power

But having it's so strange

She said you were a hero

You played the part

But you ruined her in a year

Don't act like it was hard

And you swear you didn't know

Didn't know

No wonder why you didn't ask

She was sleeping in your clothes

In your clothes

But now she's got to get to class

How dare you

And how could you

Will you only feel bad when they find out

If you could take it all back would you

Try not to abuse your power

I know we didn't choose to change

You might not wanna lose your power

But having it's so strange

I thought that I was special

You made me feel

Like it was my fault you were the devil

Lost your appeal

Does it keep you in control

In control

For you to keep her in a cage

And you swear you didn't know

Didn't know

You said you thought she was your age

How dare you

And how could you

Will you only feel bad if it turns out

That they kill your contract would you

Try not to abuse your power

I know we didn't choose to change

You might not wanna lose your power

But power isn't pain

歌曲鑑賞

《Your Power》講述了比莉·艾利什關於被她信任的男人欺騙的故事，帶有強烈諷刺意味，唱出了比莉·艾利什的不安，也唱出了比莉·艾利什在感情中權利不對等的心情。歌曲中她再度以空靈唱腔唱出：“試著不要濫用你的力量，我知道我們沒有選擇要改變，你可能不想失去你的力量，但光是擁有這些就已經很奇怪了。她說做自己的英雄，你做好自己就好。”該曲還以優柔簡單的吉他伴奏帶出比莉·艾利什最真實、脆弱的一面。

歌曲MV

該曲MV於2021年4月29日發行，由比莉·艾利什自導自演，以巨蟒纏身象徵令人窒息的關係。MV當中可以看到比莉·艾利什獨自一人身處在美國加利福尼亞的西米谷，被一隻巨蟒逐漸纏繞全身最後動彈不得的景象，她在忍受憤怒的同時，對那些濫用權力的人發出了噓聲。
