Songfacts®:

  • Lead Guitarist Josh Farro told Ultimate Guitar about this track: "I wrote that music sort of sitting in my bedroom and I was like 'Oh, it's pretty cool.' So I brought it to Hayley (Williams, lead vocalist) and I think we wrote it in Orlando, Florida like Hayley was writing the lyrics. She's like, 'I think I have something to this.' It's a pretty self explanatory song. The lyrics are really simple: that's what you get when you let your heart win and you don't really think with your head. You're more thinking based on a feeling."
