“Natalie Don’t” is a pop song that features RAYE begging to a woman named Natalie to not steal her partner. RAYE had described the song as a “modern day “Jolene”, where she had stated that she experienced her friend coming between her and a partner. Speaking to CelebMix, RAYE spoke about the song:
“The track is about that feeling of panic you have when you know you’re losing someone. The song is beautifully hopeless because you know Natalie will do what she wants regardless.”
