"Scissors" is a dynamic collaboration between American singer-songwriters Julia Michaels and Maren Morris. The song explores themes of detachment and empowerment, using the metaphor of cutting ties to signify moving on from toxic relationships. The accompanying music video, directed by Blythe Thomas, portrays Michaels and Morris engaging in symbolic acts of severance, including a dramatic scene where they castrate an ex-boyfriend using small scissors, highlighting their unbothered attitude towards breakups. The track blends pop and country elements, showcasing the duo's seamless vocal harmonies and lyrical wit. "Scissors" serves as a follow-up to their previous collaboration, "Cut!", and is expected to feature on Michaels' forthcoming sophomore album.
