This song is a reminder that even the most difficult times don't last forever and pain can be a catalyst for growth and change. Even when things are tough, we have the strength to overcome any obstacle.
Nothing But Thieves guitarist Joseph Langridge-Brown, vocalist Conor Mason, and keyboardist Dominic Craik wrote the song. It originated when Mason woke up at 4 a.m. humming the verse melody. "Once you have a nugget like that, that you know is decent, you have to capture it," he told The Sun. "I rushed to my laptop and wrote the verse and chorus melody. It was so 'pop' in my head, I didn't know if the guys would like it. Luckily, Joe championed it and had a vision to turn it into the 80s megalodon it is."
Musically, this was inspired by Tom Petty. Langridge-Brown even throws in a reference to one of Petty's songs in the first verse. Our song blaring out a dead radio Singing "I Need to Know" No turning back "We were listening to a lot of Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac at the time," said Langridge-Brown. "That song feels very widescreen to me and will be great at festivals."
