About the track Flynn said – “This song always felt like a single to us. From the first demo, we knew it was something special. When it came around to picking the initial singles for the album, this came very close to being one we released, but we decided to keep it as an album track. I’m glad we did, because the version we have now breaths a whole new life into the lyrics. Laura’s vocal really brought the track to life. “
