Guitarist Hugo White penned this track with vocalist Orlando Weeks. White explained to NME: "I'd written a song which was very different. We kept most of the original lyrics, but 'Land wrote a middle section that pulls it all together. It's about friends, really."
Rather than writing songs about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll for Given To The Wild, most of the tracks celebrate family and friends. Frontman Orlando Weeks explained why to Q magazine: "We've got to that age now where friends are starting to have babies and get on with their lives. I'm 28 now and it feels like the tipping point when these major things start to happen. That's crept into the lyrics."
This features as the end song in the 2015 motion picture Steve Jobs. It was reportedly chosen by the movie's director, Danny Boyle, who is a fan of the English rock band. The Maccabees' guitarist Hugo White saw the film in the Big Apple. He told NME: "I wrote the lyrics for that one, so to go from writing lyrics in my bedroom to watching it in a cinema in New York was a special moment."
