Written by lead singer Jason Wade, the track served as a preview of the band's album Out of the Wasteland, released in May 2015.

It begins solely with a simple chord and melody set before growing to include drums, bass, and electric guitar.

[7] Wade had previously stated that writing on the piano was a skill he had wanted to develop.

[8] A lyric video, directed by Thomas Kirk, was released alongside the song, featuring actress TL Forsberg.

The clip was filmed in one single shot with no cut, and weaves in and around an abandoned diner and motel in the desert in point of view before focusing on a woman sitting on a bed and communicating the song's closing lyrics to the camera using sign language.
