Songfacts®:

• This country-tinged song is part of Robert De Leo's first solo album, Lessons Learned. Written largely during the pandemic, a lot of the album deals with regret and the struggle to move past a relationship that has ended. In a Songfacts track by track, he said of this song: "It's that feeling of being a little helpless and swimming around in that ocean of not really being there for yourself. I don't mean to sound so therapist-like, but kind of swimming and wondering what is going to happen. Another part of my journal."
• The lead vocal is by Johnny Irion, who often performs with his wife, Sarah Lee Guthrie. De Leo says he "just nailed the sentiment" of the lyric.
• De Leo's Stone Temple Pilots bandmate Eric Kretz played drums on the track. Matt Rohde contributed piano and organ, and Dave Eggar worked on the string arrangement.
