Background and release
Cameron hinted at releasing new music in September in an interview with E! News in August 2019.[2] She later confirmed that she would be releasing music at the end of September on September 23, 2019, via her social media.[3] She formally announced the release of both "Bloodshot" and "Waste" on September 25, 2019.[4] It was released on September 27, 2019.
Cameron told Rolling Stone: "'Waste' has always felt extremely special to me, It was always the one that grabbed me the most. It is probably the weirdest one; the production is definitely strange. I love that it's a love song without being a really melty, drippy."[5]
She said to Billboard: "'Waste' is very much about that feeling of being so fucked-up over someone that you just want to waste yourself on them, bleed out every ounce of you and live inside them. That kind of agonizing, pain/pleasure, mad love is what we all either know personally, or want. Obviously, I am in a very public relationship [with Descendants costar Thomas Doherty], so it's safe to assume most love songs are about him."[6]
Critical reception
Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone called the track a "dreamy, rock-tinged love song".[7]
