The chorus, "And it hurts like heaven/ But it's good as hell/ Let's not think about what's next/ It's just sex/ And we do it so well," portrays the complexity of their relationship and their desire to separate their physical connection from the emotional baggage that comes with it. The song highlights themes of self-medication, manipulation, and past mistakes, as the characters struggle to move on and find closure in their relationship. Overall, "Just Sex" presents a candid and honest portrayal of modern relationships and the struggles that come with navigating the line between friendship and casual sex.
