Songfacts®:

  • You can give your all to someone, but is it ever enough? That's the question A Rocket To The Moon asks in this song.

    Drummer Andrew Cook told AntiMusic that as a "hopeless romantic," the song has had a special place in his heart since he first heard the demo." He explained: "When I listen to it now, I'm mainly taken back to the feelings I had while recording it (namely the cold winter nights driving back to our apartment from the studio, reflecting on the day's work). It gives me a tremendous sense of longing, and speaks to a problem I find myself having when it comes to dealing with the fairer sex, which is wondering if what I have to give will ever be 'enough.'"
  • The song deals with the insecurities so many of us struggle with concerning matters of the heart. Cook told AntiMusic: "At the end of the day, it's a sweet little narrative about the power and possibility of love. That's something we can all identify with."
  • Cook told AntiMusic that the band realized they "had a special song" when they let it play in the control room as they watched the trailer for the movie The Notebook. "It fit perfectly," said the drummer, "and since that was kind of the aim for this song from the start, we were all really excited."
  • The song was released as a single late in 2012 a few months before it appeared on A Rocket To The Moon's second album, Wild & Free. They broke up soon after the album dropped, citing conflict with their record label. Frontman Nick Santino formed the group Beach Weather; guitarist Justin Richards and drummer Andrew Cook became touring musicians for the country duo Dan + Shay.
  • The music video stars Debby Ryan from the Disney series Jessie as Nick Santino's girlfriend. The video opens with a scene where she makes a phone call from a phone booth and we learn that she bolted from the hospital, implying that she and Santino are going to spend her last days living wild and free together.
