Lyrically, the song is about a long-term abusive relationship Paulini had in 2006 with Australian rugby league footballer Wes Naiqama. She wrote "Scarless" to help other victims of domestic violence. In an interview with 'The Daily Telegraph', Paulini said "I've never spoken about it because really, when it first happened, I've got to say I just wanted to go into a hotel room and hide away. It was difficult for me to talk about because not only was I going through it, my family and friends were, too. I wasn't strong enough then like I am now. If you read the lyrics, you will know exactly what the song is about and how hard it was for me."
