Meaning
In an November 2018 interview with 'Pitchfork', lead singer Matty Healy described "Be My Mistake" as a song about guilt. Healy further explained "Its about when you are a young person and you struggle sometimes to figure out what you really want. And sometimes, like a lot of things, it requires you to make a mistake before you actually understand what you have." Healy described Nick Drake as an influence for the song.
Critical reception
Writing for 'PopBuzz', Katie Louise Smith called "Be My Mistake" "is almost like an even sadder sequel to 'Somebody Else' and it will one hundred percent destroy you emotionally".
