Writing and inspiration

Taken from Seven Shades of Heartbreak which as a collection of songs, according to Harper's Bazaar, "narrates the stages of healing", the song itself "also lays out the nuances of lyrical heartbreak".

Webb said about the EP "I wanted to create around different feelings and the idea of explaining my seven stages. The song "Dumb Love" was that part of the EP where it was great. [At that point,] everything was lovely, fresh, and new. It was nostalgic because you were going back into a situation you had not visited for a long time. Yeah, "Dumb Love" was definitely an exciting part because it was much more lighthearted and loving than other songs."[2]
