The song "What A Time" by Julia Michaels is about reminiscing on a past relationship and the happy moments that were shared. Michaels expresses her feelings of nausea and anxiety as a result of foreseeing an encounter with her former partner. The nostalgia from the past relationship is too strong, and even though she knows it's not healthy, she still thinks about it. Michaels talks about a night spent in the park where she and her ex-partner stayed up for hours, enjoying each other's company and clinging onto each other. Despite not ending things the way they were supposed to, and the relationship not making sense, Michaels still wants to reminisce about the happy times shared. The song is a reminder that not all relationships end on bad terms, that both parties can still cherish the good things they shared, and move forward with no hard feelings.
