• The band originally had doubts about including this tune on Centipede Hz. Josh "Deakin" Dibb told AUX Magazine: "The moment we started talking about the record and what we were going to record, at least some of the guys in the band [felt] this one didn't fit with the record. To me, it seemed like it was taking a backseat. Once we put some effort in and got it recorded, everyone came around and saw how it was a good one."
• Deakin discussed Dave 'Avey Tare' Portner's lyrics for this track. "Dave's lyrics sort of ride this line of having a linear direct statement or story-feeling on it," he told AUX Magazine, "and at the same time, have this sort of vagueness. When he does that at his best moment, there's these suggestions of thoughts or ideas or emotions that you can sort of pick up. I feel like you can hear different things in it depending on how you're listening to it. I really like songs that do that."
