Band member Ian Kenny said "This is a song the band wrote while we were overseas touring and doing our thing. One thing we realised is that when you spend so long away from your friends and family and the people you love, you can kind of lose touch with exactly how people are doing and what’s really going on in their world, with a varied sort of outcomes - some good, some bad. So this is homage, bit of a tribute song to the times we didn’t notice how the people we love were really doing."
