Songfacts®:

  • This dreamy electronica song finds frontman Michael Angelakos apologizing for his part in letting a relationship go wrong.
  • Starring frontman Michael Angelakos and Sophia Bush (of One Tree Hill fame), and directed by sibling-duo Brewer (Alt-J, War on Drugs), the song's music video depicts a crumbling romance. "The music video was shot in Los Angeles and tells the story of a love/hate relationship through a playful Godard - inspired narrative that follows the couple throughout their home," explained Brewer.
  • The song soundtracked a feel-good TV commercial for Tropicana's Farmstand, a line of 100% fruit and vegetable juice drinks.
