Chasing Ghosts is the third studio album by Australian post-hardcore band the Amity Affliction.

[6] Commenting on the song, frontman Joel Birch stated, "I wrote Chasing Ghosts as a narrative based wholly around someone that has committed suicide and has passed onto the other side.

It's a story that I hope people will see for what it is; an example in song of why you should turn to someone close and talk instead of taking that last fatal step towards death prematurely.

[7] The situation was very ironic due to the main message behind the album being anti-suicide and urging fans who feel suicidal to turn to people close to them and seeking help rather than taking their own life.

[8] In June 2012, The Amity Affliction apologised for "vicious" statements made by the band in response to the controversy.
