Background
According to Alex Warren, he wanted to write a sad song "that you can dance to" and was inspired by his relationship in middle school. Regarding the nature of "Before You Leave Me", he said "It's a long-distance relationship song, it's a breakup song, and it's a song about losing someone. The whole gist of it is that you have one last night with someone, and it's about making the best of that last night that you have." [1] Warren also shared a message about the song:
Anyone who knows my story knows that my relationship with my fiancée started off long distance. And people who have been in a long distance relationship understand those often unspoken fears that come with those frequent good-byes and returns to time apart. I wrote this track as a way to help people process and vocalize the emotions that come along when it's time for couples to return to long distance after a visit. I'm so grateful that my long distance relationship worked out and has since turned into the single most important part of my life. I hope that everyone who gets to hear this song and is currently struggling gains comfort from knowing that they're not alone and that while it may be hard now, a fairy tale ending is possible for everyone.
