"This song is more about… we’re getting older… we’re in our 40s… There is a sort of feeling of maybe paranoia or terror… the idea that you would ever admit that you're still trying to work for these [dreams] because people kind of look at you like, 'you've got a job and you've got kids'… almost like, 'don't admit to wanting to do those things because you can't do that anymore'."

"I don't know what made me decide to do this as a single… It feels like it's radio friendly… maybe in an indie sense, but because of that weird, offbeat thing that it does or off time thing that it does, it might make you listen to it for a second. And then I had an idea for the video… not that making a video necessarily is a reason to do a single, but I was just like… 'I think it'd be kind of cool to do this one'. It just kind of I got it in my head. 'I’m doing this as a single', and then from then on, I just never really questioned it. Which can be dangerous."

"When I first started working on it… I probably was thinking of Radiohead a bit… The Verve, maybe a little bit of Oasis, but not not really in that brash bravado sense… but some of that snarkiness came through in it nonetheless, more in lyrical content than in the way it's delivered as a vocal."
