About this song
Elle King's song is a play on the stereotype of the "love 'em and leave 'em" attitude, with the attitude assigned to a female singer. The title evokes tic-tac-toe, suggesting that the singer treats relationships as a game, and it also plays on slang for past relationships and climaxes. Trisha Yearwood has a song with a similar title, "XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)."
What it's about
The singer sings about her former lovers, who all come back to her wanting her love. She delivers the message through a series of sharp double meanings.
