Hayley Williams explained the song's meaning to MTV News: "There seemed to be this thread in my brain about people who just really need to grow up and maybe open up their mind a little bit," she said. "And for me, as a girl, I've always sort of done things the way that I wanted to do them, and sometimes you get backlash for that. And I think it's really important just to love who you are. I mean, I learn it every day; anyone who says they don't have self-esteem issues is a bold-faced liar. It's really about self-empowerment and learning to leave those negative opinions behind and sort of look at those people right now and say 'Grow Up.'"
