This song is about reviewing the memories - missed and forgotten - from the band's childhood in Hanna, Alberta. The lyrics are a chronicle of real events and personal landmarks lead singer Chad Kroeger recalled as he wrote it. Speaking with the CBC, he explained: "It's just nostalgia, growing up in a small town, and you can't go back to your childhood. Saying goodbye to friends that you've drifted away from, where you grew up, where you went to school, who you hung out with and the dumb stuff you used to do as a kid, the first love - all of those things. Everyone has one or two of those memories that they are fond of, so this song is really just the bridge for all that."

The video was directed by Nigel Dick, who directed the first Britney Spears video, "Baby One More Time." It was shot in the band's hometown of Hanna, as the band revisits their old stomping grounds. "It was cool because we hadn't been back to Hanna a long time," Kroeger told American Songwriter. 'It was also sad at the same time to see. In 'Photograph,' I'm talking about the movie theater being gone and all that, and sure enough, we got there and it was gone. I didn't even know it was gone, but I say it in the song, which is hilarious." 'Our director, Nigel Dick, had shown up two days earlier and started grabbing all these people from town and shooting shots of them," he continued. 'I didn't see any of that until I got the first cut of the video. I'm like, 'I know those humans.'"

The photograph Kroeger is holding in the video is the one that inspired the song: It's a shot of him and their producer, Joey Moi, at a New Year's Eve party. As for what's on Joey's head, that's a chiller for champagne, as they were enjoying some adult beverages that evening.
