In this song, Spektor sings about trying to protect herself from heartbreak by absorbing herself in music, but she falls in love and has her heart broken anyway.
Spektor has stated that this song is based on the movie High Fidelity.
Spektor is not known as being a singles artist, but this song was an international hit. She told Entertainment Weekly that she wasn't surprised this was so successful. Said Spektor: "When we were recording, it just felt so nice, like in my body. I thought, This is delicious. So much of listening to music is physical. It starts in the stomach and it needs to travel up to the lungs in this specific way. When that doesn't happen, you just feel it, you know when it's not right. It's very much a body experience. To me, 'Fidelity' felt really good in my body when we finished. I guess people's bodies are the same in those kinds of ways. Sometimes songs just feel nice."
