We remember telephones on the wall and pre-social-media relationships. So just thinking about the world and how much it’s changed because of all those things, it was a song I wanted to write. The trick was not filling it up with a bunch of technology references and trying to find the story within it. It’s just the world’s so much smaller now. In a lot of ways, like the fact that I can release the record and still stay in touch with my fans, there’s so many positives. But when it comes to relationships and navigating old relationships or new relationships and especially breakups, it can be tricky. I have a hard time focusing and organizing and really concentrating on getting something finished. There’s something about the ninth hour that centers my focus. If I know that I have to turn something in tomorrow, I have more mental clarity on that day than I would have had combined in the months before. I sat around on those verses thinking, “What would you do? How would you write this? I could do this, I could do that.” And then I had one day and it was like, “Okay, this is it. Boom.”

On the week ending April 17, 2021, the song reached a peak of #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
