Composed by the Murmurs, the track is an acoustic punk song with lyrics about betrayal written by Hailey.

According to Murmurs members Leisha Hailey and Heather Grody, the song found its inspiration some time after the duo left New York's American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

The two women met a New York man who ripped them off both financially and mentally, and Hailey decided to write a song about this experience.

The song debuted and peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that December, staying at the position for two weeks.
