Vocalist Awsten Knight spoke about the song in a track-by-track of Fandom for Rock Sound:

Oh man, that’s like the pettiest breakup song, but it’s so great. I sing so quick in that song, it’s really fun. I wanted that one to come out before [the album] because I worry when songs are towards the back of the album that they’re just not gonna be heard as much, and it’s just a little more sonically… I don’t wanna say low-key – but other songs slam, or I’m like screaming and shit. I wanted to make sure it got its highlight.

And plus, shout out to those Marilyn Manson-sounding vocals in the chorus – because I didn’t want it to stay the same dynamically, but when we tried to make it go up it just sounded dumb. I was like, ‘Do you know what we have to do? We have to go gloomier. Just sink that bottom half with some real dark shit, some real minor stuff in there’. We made it sound just like Marilyn Manson and it was crazy, and I was like ‘there it is! Bop!.
