• This is the theme song for The Bridge, an FX drama set along the Texas-Mexico border. Ryan Bingham lived in the area as a youth and he told Billboard magazine that he returned to the location for musical influences. "I was trying to capture that Tex-Mex border vibe," he said. "Corridos, Mexican folk music – that was the first stuff I learned when I was starting. I went for a classical guitar-mariachi sound, just something lonesome to reflect the culture."
  
  "I had the idea of writing a love song about the back and forth between the US. and Mexico and bridging them together," he added. "I worked at this conflict to create a message of peace and tranquility."
• The version that the audiences hear is from the original demo tape that Bingham sent to the show; It has not been re-recorded.
