Vocalist/guitarist Dave Bayley explained the story behind this song to Paste magazine: "The idea for this one came from a story someone told me once. They were telling me about their child, and something awful had happened to them. She was crying - but at the same time the memories that they had from that previous life made her so happy - so she was also smiling. That combination of emotions kind of made me feel like my heart was being ripped apart but also optimistic in a weird way. She had found a way to see happiness in this awful thing that had happened to her. That combination of emotions is what this song is getting at."
