Songfacts®:

  • This song is very much rooted in the message of Motionless In White, which is about individuality and celebrating differences. Leader Chris Motionless explained to Kerrang:

    "It's about celebrating who you are, and it has kind of a cocky manner to it similar to how our song 'Necessary Evil' did. I wanted to encourage people to come out of their shell and love who they are, to be a f---ing badass and to be comfortable in their own skin, which is what we've always been about."
