Songfacts®:

  • Maggie told American Songwriter magazine about this song: "I wrote it with my talented friend, Connie Harrington," she said. "On its own it is a very descriptive and dark story but the backstory for me is that I used a really upsetting experience I had been through and channeled that energy into the song. There is a connection between this person who completely betrayed my trust and our choice of the villain in this story that is satisfying to me without glorifying him."
