In a Dutch video documentary by Top 2000 à gogo in December 2018, Vega spoke about the meaning of the song:
I wanted to write about child abuse… I had to think of how to write about a subject that no-one talks about.[7]
In 2021, she revealed that the song dealt with the emotional and physical abuse she had suffered from her stepfather, Edgardo Vega Yunqué, also known as Ed Vega, who was a novelist and professor from Puerto Rico.
"There was abuse in my family... I am actually Luka."[8]
In 2023, she similarly told German radio Station Bayern 2 the song is about her own experience with physical abuse:
I chose Luka as a name and as a character because I didn't want people to know that it was me.[9]
