Cameron described the song to Billboard, saying: Bloodshot' is less specific. I am very known by my label to say 'I hate a breakup song,' which I don't anticipate changing anytime soon. To me, they're boring and they make me itchy. What I love about 'Bloodshot' is that it's not necessarily about a breakup, but it is definitely about a loss of some kind. For me, it's about loss, which I am always trying to put to lyrics."
Critical reception Billie Nilles from E! News complimented the song, saying "with its woozy synths and haunted vocal, that stands out as our favorite".
Music video The song's music video was released on October 8, 2019.
