Arena explained, "It speaks about being consumed and completely infatuated with someone but knowing they're possibly not right for you or that the relationship won't work despite how desperately you want it to. I think we've all been there at some point!" [1] The song peaked at number 72 on the ARIA Singles Chart.

Music video

The video released on 20 September 2015 via Arena's Vevo account. The black-and-white video was inspired by American photographer Cindy Sherman [2] and stars Vince Colosimo.

His honesty, elasticity and reliability as an actor is something I am in awe of." [4]
