The song is based on Bermudez's life when he grew up as he was harassed and bullied and how he managed to overcome the abuse by standing up to them without resorting to their tactics: "This one holds a special place in my heart. Growing up I wasn't always the 'cool kid' and would often get bullied. Hopefully others going through similar experiences will know that it's okay to be yourself because in the end bullies are not 'crazy enough' to walk a mile in your shoes." [2]
