Jewel says:

I wrote Barcelona in Barcelona. It's a song about learning how to love yourself even when you disappoint yourself. And how you're patient with yourself when you disappoint yourself. It's a song about wanting to feel better but not knowing how. And so it's a sort of plea, during the chorus. It's a sort of a just: 'help I want to be free...from what haunts me'. So the verses are very turbulant and dark, but the chorus is kind of uplifting.
