Songfacts®:

  • Singer Brittany Howard hearkens back to her teenage years on this nostalgic number. She recalled to NME: "Sneaking out of the house to get to parties was like a Mission: Impossible covert act. You had to put the car in neutral and wait until you got to the street to start it. You had to leave a movie blaring all night in your room. I never got caught."
