Songfacts®:

• The title is a reference to "Torn," a track recorded by guitarist Derek Miller's first band Poison The Well. It can be found on their 1998 debut Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder EP. He told The Line Of Best Fit:
  
  "I kind of ripped off the chords a little and changed the key. I go back and forth on the percussive gunshot sample. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I feel like I just ruined the track completely."
• This is a track from Sleigh Bells' fourth album, Jessica Rabbit. Singer Alexis Krauss told Artist Direct that the record came from "following all of our creative impulses and not reining them in."
  
  She added regarding this song: "Derek sent me the tracks and worked on the vocal and they are what they are. It was really consciously - it was just a part of the song - then part of the album. There was definitely no strategy for the album. Most of the songs that ended up on the album are just the songs that we kept listening to and kept loving after months and months and months. We wrote a lot of music for this album and 50% of it didn't make the cut."
• Miller said of Krauss' vocals for this song. "Alexis sounds incredible - I could listen to her melody forever. Especially when she hits the "I love both" lyric, it's in this one spot in her range that kills me."
