Produced by Cold Hart under his producer name “Jayyeah”, the instrumental has a slow and joyful melody, blending in well with Peep’s equally tender voice. The rapper’s most used sound effect, reverb, is also applied to his voice.
Before the release, “Princess” was rumoured to be the best Lil Peep song. On 15th November, 2019, Princess was released in its original form.

(How could I forget about you?)
(How could I forget about you?)
(Forget about you)
(I don't know what I'd do without you)
(Love is nonsense without my princess)
(Send me one text, so I can get some rest)
How could I forget about you?
I don't know what I'd do without you (GBC)
Lonely sunsets without my princess
Send me one text, so I can get some rest
How could I forget about you? (Forget about you)
I don't know what I'd do without you (do without you)
Lonely sunsets without my princess (without my princess)
Send me one text, so I can get some rest (I can get some rest)
How could I forget about you?
I don't know what I'd do without you (do without you)
Lonely sunsets without my princess (without my princess)
Send me one text, so I can get some rest

Never doubt me, I'll never doubt you (never doubt you)
I don't go out without you (without you)

The lyrics of Lil Peep's song PRINCESS express the rapper's longing for his significant other, who he refers to as his princess. The repeated lines "How could I forget about you?" and "I don't know what I'd do without you" emphasize his deep attachment to this individual. The song describes the emptiness Lil Peep feels without his princess, particularly during moments of isolation such as lonely sunsets and sunrises. He yearns for a simple gesture from his loved one, a single text message, so that he can rest easy knowing she is still by his side.
Throughout the song, Lil Peep expresses his reliance on his princess, stating that he doesn't do anything without her and doesn't want to leave the house without her. He acknowledges that he is nothing without her and wishes to be looking into her eyes during the sunsets and sunrises that make him so lonely. Despite his confession of dependency, he asserts that he will never doubt his princess and expects the same level of loyalty in return.
The melancholic tone of the lyrics and Lil Peep's emotive delivery make PRINCESS a poignant song about love, commitment and longing.
