Songfacts®:

• "Out The Window" finds Kehlani desperately trying to salvage a damaged relationship. She takes responsibility for a mistake she made that has messed up a good thing, and pleads for another chance to make things right.
• Released on November 7, 2025, the song arrived on the heels of Kehlani's hit "Folded." But while "Folded" saw folding clothes as a metaphor for handling heartbreak gently, "Out The Window" finds her taking the blame, regretting her actions. Kehlani has not said whether she wrote the two songs about a specific romance or as a universal experience not tied to a specific partner.
• Kehlani wrote the song with Ashton "SNW" Norful, Talay Riley and the song's producers, Khristopher Riddick-Tynes and Antonio Lamar Dixon.
  
  Riddick-Tynes and Dixon also produced "Folded."
  
  "Out the Window" and "Folded" are similar in their use of rich, classic R&B influences, but "Out the Window" leans more heavily into live, melodic instrumentation like strings and soft percussion, giving it a cinematic and almost orchestral feel. "Folded" incorporates more contemporary R&B production, including guitar loops and rhythmic programming that give it a smoother, slightly pop-leaning groove.
