History

David Fanning, a songwriter and producer who works with Parmalee, noted that lead singer Matt Thomas did not have many songs which showed off the higher end of his vocal range. The two said they wanted to create a "grand" song similar in feel to Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing". Lyrically, it is about promises made by the male narrator to his lover. Tom Roland of Billboard also cited influences of Chicago and 3 Doors Down in the arrangement. [1]
