==Background and concept== Prior to releasing the track, Fletcher visited [[iHeartRadio]] HQ in New York City to preview the song and share the personal story behind it. She described "Undrunk" as a "true and relatable testament" to her romantic experiences. During the interview, she also spoke about her long-standing journey in the music industry, her role as an ally to the [[LGBTQ]] community, and her hopes that her real-life stories would resonate with listeners anticipating her upcoming EP.<ref name="iHeartRadio">{{cite web |url=https://www.iheart.com/alternate/amp/2019-01-25-fletcher-talks-new-single-undrunk-self-discovery-being-a-woman-in-pop/ |title=Fletcher Talks New Single 'Undrunk,' Self Discovery & Being A Woman In Pop |publisher=iHeartRadio |date=January 25, 2019 |access-date=July 24, 2025}}</ref>

The concept for "Undrunk" emerged during a conversation Fletcher had in the studio, where she and her collaborators reflected on past relationships. She explained that the song was inspired by the desire to undo the experience of loving someone who had caused profound emotional damage. "We just started talking about our exes and what we had been through", she recalled. "The inspiration behind it is really just wishing you could undo loving that person that ruined your life, broke your heart into a million pieces, stomped on it, lit it on fire and then fucking ate it and threw it back up". The writing session revolved around questions like "What can you undo? Unkiss? Unlove? Unfuck?", with the melody naturally following those reflections.<ref name="Billboard" />

Speaking about listeners' responses to the track, Fletcher added that she enjoyed hearing stories about how people relate to "Undrunk", often through humorous or emotionally raw moments after a night of drinking. Recalling one instance from college, she said, "One time I came home to my college roommate cooking an avocado — she literally cut an avocado and put [[The Hershey Company|Hershey]]'s milk chocolate on it and put it in the microwave for like 16 minutes... I came in and was like, 'Are you good?' And she's like crying and sweating over the food". She noted that such bizarre drunk decisions reflect the emotional messiness at the heart of the song's message.<ref name="Billboard" />
