Vocalist Jenna McDougall explained to Kerrang! magazine that the background of this song concerns a broken friendship. "It's me speaking to a friend I no longer speak to," the Australian singer said. "She would always cry out for attention and complain about everything that was wrong in her life, but she wouldn't help herself or ask for help from anyone else. It was really difficult to be a friend to someone who pushes you away like that, and in the end, she told me to never speak to her again. The song is me closing the book on the friendship." McDougall added that the song is also relatable to other people's situations. "Everyone's got ex-best-friends, and I've found that the reality of growing up is that you leave people behind and people leave you behind. The song's about coming to terms with that and finding yourself as your own personal and letting go of the grudges that in the end do nothing but hold you back. At heart, it's a coming-of-age song, which is an important event in the lives of everybody."
