Background

When talking about the song, Steve Garrigan said, "I wrote this song on tour in Asia last year, "I had a really bad day dealing with my own anxiety issues and I let it get the better of me. I started writing the song in my hotel room to help me calm down, music has always helped me in that way. For me, it’s a song about accepting the bad days and trying to stay positive."
