Interesting facts and trivia about What You're Waiting For. By Songfacts®.

Mike "Passenger" Rosenberg wrote the lyrics for Songs For The Drunk And Broken Hearted shortly after ending a long-term relationship. Newly single, the record finds him reflecting on dealing with life and the world we live in.

This song finds Rosenberg considering what is really important to him. He told The Sun newspaper: "I wrote it when I got to this weird point in my life where I had everything that on paper should have been making me happy, but I still wasn't content. I think I kind of wrote it to myself. We're all taught to strive for things that we think will make us happy, but sometimes when we get them we realize they're not what matters."

Rosenberg wrote all the Songs For The Drunk And Broken Hearted tracks with his longtime producer, Chris Vallejo. They first worked together on his 2009 debut album Wide Eyes Blind Love; their collaborations include Passenger's 2012 breakthrough single "Let Her Go."
