Written alongside producer Mura Masa, it was released on 13 August 2021 through Parlophone and Elektra as the fourth single from her debut mixtape To Hell with It.

[1] "Just for Me" was inspired by the "stalkerish" theme of "Stan" by Eminem as well as PinkPantheress's desire to make a song that sounded like Craig David.

[11] In October 2021, American singer Giveon performed an acoustic soul cover of the song for BBC Radio 1Xtra's Live Lounge.

[18] In it, PinkPantheress sings in a "soft", "android-like",[19] "helium-high" tone, over a "snappy", "nostalgia-fueled" garage beat and "delicate", "gentle"[7] guitars, about having an unhealthy obsession with a crush and going to lengths such as finding their house and sleeping with their hair under her pillow.

[24][13] NPR named "Just for Me" one of the best songs released in August 2021, with writer Alex Ramos writing that "Just for Me" "demonstrates [PinkPantheress's] appeal" and "lingers under the radar", adding that "you won't even notice you've had it on repeat until the next time you're sucked in again".

[23] Jordan Darville of The Fader wrote that the song "transcends mere nostalgia thanks to a heap of emotion" and "has enough stomach butterflies to fill a monarch colony.

The video has a low display resolution and includes scenes with a tarantula, a book blowing in the wind, and people using flip phones.
