Moore wrote the song with Paul DiGiovanni, Chase McGill, and Jeremy Stover, who also co- produced it with Scott Borchetta.

Moore wrote the song with his producer, Jeremy Stover, along with Boys Like Girls member Paul DiGiovanni and songwriter Chase McGill.

The song, which according to Rolling Stone features "a soaring chorus and weeping guitar work", pays tribute to soldiers who did not return from duty.

[2] Angela Stefano of the blog The Boot said of the song that "Listeners who are expecting a somber melody won't get that, though the lyrics are still devastating enough to draw a tear or two."

Villalobos said that he was inspired to include not only soldiers, but also policemen and firefighters in the video due to it being released soon after the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
