[2] The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers has stated that once he started writing personal songs for the band's upcoming album Wonderful Wonderful, he began to second-guess himself, and so, he decided to play some of them to his wife Tana, who suffers from PTSD: "I'd never done anything like that before, where we'd sit down and play the songs for her, and explain it, and see if it made sense to her, and got her approval".
After Bono and Anton Corbijn texted and e-mailed Eno, Flowers was finally able to talk to him: "What we found out is that he'd told his manager, 'I don't want to use this song anymore'.
Flowers also revealed that the song contains his three sons as backing vocals, which caused his wife Tana to cry once she heard it: "It's really emotional.
[8] Lisa Nguyen from Paste Magazine noted the track is "a delicate lullaby compared to all the punchy singles we've heard so far from the forthcoming album".
[9] However, Stereogum's Pranav Trewn called it "the most boring song Chris Martin never wrote", stating the track "just plods along without ever justifying the amount of space it takes up".
