Interesting facts and trivia about Shotgun. By Songfacts®.

This was one first songs written for Staying At Tamara's. George Ezra told The Sun he penned the tune after spending time up Montjuïc hill in Barcelona. He explained: "Halfway up, there is a hotel with a nice garden. A lot of days I'd walk halfway up and just sit in the beautiful garden. I looked around and everyone was just doing their own thing, trying to figure out their lives."

The Spanish city had previously been the source of inspiration for "Barcelona," one of Wanted on Voyage's tracks, and Ezra chose to take a break in the seaside location after struggling to unwind following touring his debut album. "I kind of felt like, 'Well, what I need to do is take myself away and see if I can make any more sense of (what I'm feeling),'" Ezra said. "And I ended up going to Barcelona for a month, and I just stayed in one place instead of traveling around. It was lovely, and I think that's when I realized that it was like, an anxious feeling that I had."

Ezra stayed in a Barcelona apartment owned by a woman named Tamara, from which the album derives its name.
