Slow Like Honey was the first song Fiona wrote for Tidal. In the song, Fiona speaks of her "big secret." She has explained it as being in reference to the way other students viewed her during high school. It was Fiona's response to the question of "What's the big secret?"
Apple: "When I was in high school a lot of guys didn't... a lot of guys always... this is what I heard the most -- okay... 'What the hell are you thinking?' 'What are you thinking about?' 'God, you're always staring off into space.' And, like, no one would come near me because of that and I think that people think that if you're silent then you're like, snobby or something, you know? Or you're depressed. You know? I was just contemplative. What can I say?" She has also said that this song is about how she would become a singer and all of her classmates would regret being mean to her because she became famous and hence, has power over them.
