Background and release


On August 18, Carpenter shared a post with several clues from the song, including the mention of the first verse, "it'll be a Wednesday", in the post’s description, the lines "if we could take it all off and just exist?" and "water under the bridge".[2] On August 23, Carpenter sends an email to her fans with the song’s codified title on a message and, later, posts a snippet of the song with the title revealed.[3] On August 30, Carpenter finally reveals the single's cover art and release date.[4] The song was released on September 9, along with its music video.[1][5] It was written by Carpenter, Julia Michaels, JP Saxe and Leroy Clampitt in New York on Summer 2021.[6]


Composition and lyrical interpretation


Musically, "Skinny Dipping" is a two minutes and fifty-eight seconds acoustic guitar-driven midtempo pop song.[7] In terms of music notation, "Skinny Dipping" was composed using 4
4
common time in the key of E major, with a moderate tempo of 92 beats per minute.[8] The song follows the chord progression of E–B-Amaj7-B.[8] 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.[8]


Music video


The official music video was released along with the song and was directed by Amber Park.[5] 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.[9] 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.[6] 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.[10]


Live performances


On October 29, 2021, Carpenter performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon wearing a black and white gingham sequin dress, playing a Nord Electro 6D, and surrounded by band.[11]
