Songfacts®:

  • Since time immemorial, women have been known to be more intuitive than men. The consequence of this is that relationships have been afflicted throughout history by situations where the male feels pressured to work out what his female partner wants. Rather than communicating their desires, the lady expects their beau to read their mind. This song is a lighthearted take on a man's frustration at being unable to work what his lover is thinking, so he's unable to resolve their problems.
  • Frontman Jeremy McKinnon wrote the song with Neck Deep and 5 Seconds to Summer producer Mike Green.
  • The video was animated by Awesome Inc. an animation/sound studio based in Atlanta known for their Adult Swim series Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Squidbillies.
