This song finds Turner singing about the girl that he used to love and how he misses her. Girl problems played a key role in his songwriting for Tape Deck Heart. Turner told NME: "One of the knacks of songwriting is trying to write something that feels specific and personal to lots of people at the same time." "But yeah," he added, "basically I came out of a long-term relationship and it wasn't much fun."
That's American singer-songwriter Elle King playing the banjo. She is best known for "Playing For Keeps," which was used as the theme song for VH1's Mob Wives Chicago series. At the age of ten, King appeared in the movie Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo alongside her father, Saturday Night Live alumni Rob Schneider.
In an interview with the London freesheet Metro, June 7, 2013, Frank Turner said of this uptempo semi-accoustic track: "It's about regret. The inspiration took place in Sydney airport at 3am when I was really tired and quite drunk and made one of those phone calls you shouldn't make, which led to a chain of events featured in the song."
