Band member and one of the song's writers, Ash, states that the song is very special to the band and "it seems to connect with people quite deeply."[1] He also states that the song is a highlight from the album and it allowed him to be "indulgent" which is how he imagined it.[1] The band's lead singer, Bassingthwaighte, states "this [song] seems to me to be saying 'You have issues but you can get over it', so I prefer to be realistic than stylistic. I think about someone I know when I sing it."[1] This is the last single with Natalie Bassingthwaighte.[2]
