Songfacts®:

  • This song deals with the fallout of a breakup, focusing on how feelings don't automatically fade just because a relationship is over. Even if the sun "never settles" on the connection, the relationship wasn't a mistake, and was still worth the journey.

    "The song is about the end of a relationship, and being better off for the experience," said frontman Edde Keogh. "Sometimes these things don't work out. That's not ideal, but it also doesn't mean it wasn't worth it either."

    Keogh took the idea a step further when discussing the song's takeaway: "If you're lucky enough to end a relationship and both be better people as a result, you are part of a very prestigious club. Congratulations."

    That optimistic spin on heartbreak gives the track its uplifting edge.
  • The single topped the Irish Singles Chart, giving Kingfishr their second #1 in Ireland following the breakout success of "Killeagh." It also was the group's first entry on the UK Singles Chart.
  • Casey King directed the music video. He shot it in Cabra, Dublin, the night before the band hit the road for tour.
