In an interview with The Creative Process, the film's director, Sophie Brooks, spoke about the inspiration. She said,

"When I was in my late twenties, I got out of a serious relationship and kind of reentered the dating scene. I was shocked by the simplification of a lot of complicated feelings around dating and how women are so easily labeled crazy, and men are so easily labeled assholes. In reality, we're all complex people with feelings and our own sets of baggage."

She added,

"I thought it would be interesting to explore that in a tongue-in-cheek way and kind of lean into these tropes and then subvert them. My agent challenged me to come up with an idea that could shoot during COVID, meaning it had limited locations and limited actors. Molly Gordon, who is the star of the film and a producer, also developed the story with me. She and I were in a COVID pod at the time, and I told her the idea. She immediately responded to it and was really excited about it."
