Songfacts®:

  • This song is all about seizing the day.

    I just wanna climb to the top of a mountain
    Standing tall when I'm howlin'
    'Cause today's gonna be my day


    Frontman Michael Fitzpatrick told Billboard the song's message is: "Sometimes you just gotta climb to the tallest building and shout your name out as loud as you can!"
  • The song soundtracked Walmart's 2019 back-to-school commercial back-to-school commercial Go Back Big.
  • In 2018, a year before All The Feels was released, Fitz and the Tantrums co-lead singer Noelle Scaggs issued her major-label solo debut, Great For You. The emotional title track, a collaboration with the LA-based trio BRAVES, was also the lead single.
