This story about striving for equality is the first Vampire Weekend song that guitarist/keyboardist Rostam Batmangli sung on his own.

The track closes Vampire Weekend's third album Modern Vampires of the City. Batmangli explained to NME: " Before, we've always had a long song at the end of the record, but after 'Hudson,' which is pretty dark, we thought it was good to have something with a little bit of hope."
