Lead singer Matthew Ramsey said that the idea for the song came to him just before a concert.

He wrote the song with band members Trevor Rosen and Brad Tursi, and frequent collaborator Josh Osborne.

The song uses the concept of a one-man band as a metaphor for a man who wants to have a committed relationship instead of living alone.

[1] Ramsey describes it as the band's "first love song", and notes that the lyrics have a double meaning that he feels can also refer to his relationship with his bandmates.

[4] The song has sold 278,000 copies in the United States as of March 2020.
