Montaigne told The Music AU their motives for the song were "a look back at what you'd known to be a healthy and fulfilling relationship whilst experiencing it, but with a little perspective discovered was pretty bad. I wrote this song and only after writing it did I realize that that's how I felt the whole time." adding "It's a classic “love is blind” narrative. I love this song; it's probably the most fun thing I've ever written."[1] It was featured in episode 8 of the first season of the Netflix show Heartstopper.

Reception

In an album review, Dylan Marshall from the AU Review said "'Because I Love You' is just a straight up, pop gem... with its self-reflection on a failed relationship being the focal point of the track, it showcases the lengths people are willing to go to in an attempt to overlook problems one might face with their significant other."[2]
