Discover the story of the song > Contaminated – Banks

The song is about a woman who is in a relationship with a man who is married, and she knows she should leave him but can't because she loves him. He promises her that he loves her and will leave his wife, but she knows it's unlikely and fears that their love is "tainted" because of the circumstances. The repeated refrain of "Ooh, I can attain it" suggests that the protagonist believes she can make the relationship work despite the challenges, but ultimately realizes that they need to end it for their own well-being.
