• "Like We Used To" explores that stage when your ex has moved on but you haven't. In the song, A Rocket To The Moon frontman Nick Santino has a lot of questions for the ex, who now has a new man. He wants to know if he holds her when she cries, if he watches her favorite movies, if he makes her feel invincible. It's clear that he thought he was the perfect guy for her, but now he has to deal with the fact that he didn't measure up. That's a tough pill to swallow.
  
  Santino hasn't said if the song is about anyone specific, but he did explain that at the end of the song, he comes to a realization. "You grow up and you realize you're better off," he said. "You're happy for her that she moved on."
• "Like We Used To" is the most popular song from A Rocket To The Moon, which formed in 2006 and broke up in 2013 soon after releasing their second album. The song is part of their 2009 debut album, On Your Side, released on October 13, 2009. As the band built up their following with time on the road, the song gradually got added to playlists, and it even cracked the Hot 100, reaching #91 in October 2010, a year after it was released.
  
  The group was signed to Fueled By Ramen, home to Paramore and Fall Out Boy, but they didn't get on well with the label, which they say is a main reason for their split.
• The band wrote this song with Dan Young, the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band This Providence, which was also signed to Fueled By Ramen.
• The band explained to Artist Direct that this is a "good old-fashioned break up song," and it explores that "difficult yet crucial process of growing up and eventually realizing that while the break up caused you pain, in the end, it was for the best."
• The song's music video was filmed in Santa Barbara, California and directed by Hannah Lux Davis, whose credits include several Ariana Grande videos and "Say So" by Doja Cat.
