"Spanish Doors" was the third single from Soberish, Liz Phair's seventh studio album, and Chrysalis put it out on April 14, 2021. Phair wrote it alone, with Brad Wood producing, and it's a divorce song: the struggle of splitting up, and the way a whole life splinters in the aftermath.
Critics couldn't agree on it. Some heard her reaching back toward her earlier records; others took issue with the mix. Adult album alternative radio played it, and it climbed to number 31 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Airplay chart.
