Songfacts®:

  • This meditation on crashing weddings was recorded, along with the album's opener "Miracle Mile," after Cold War Kids thought they'd wrapped Dear Miss Lonelyhearts. The relaxed ballad was laid down, according to vocalist Nathan Willett, during sessions that "had a great vibe, perhaps because we were just friends hanging out and didn't have the pressure."
  • This was also the title track of the follow-up EP, digitally released five months after Dear Miss Lonelyhearts.
