Composition and lyrical interpretation



Musically, "Skinny Dipping" is a two minutes and fifty-eight seconds acoustic guitar-driven midtempo pop song. In terms of music notation, "Skinny Dipping" was composed using common time in the key of E major, with a moderate tempo of 92 beats per minute. The song follows the chord progression of EB-Amaj7-B. Carpenter's vocal performance on the verses in sung on a speaking style and her range spans, approximately, from the low note E3 to the high note of E5, giving the song about two octave of range.

Music video



The official music video was released along with the song and was directed by Amber Park. In the music video, Carpenter writes letters to herself and puts them in a box labeled "this too shall pass" and, at the end, after dancing barefoot in a green dress on the streets of New York, she throws the letters into the air. The letters putted in the box allude to the emails Carpenter wrote for herself, from which the inspiration for the songs on her album came. There are easter eggs to the follow-up single, "Fast Times", including the end of the music video where a different version of Carpenter riding a motorcycle appears, providing a snippet and a clue to the song's music video.
