[3] The band posted an official teaser of the song on May 15. [4] In an Instagram Live, Reynolds described the lyrics of the song:

The song is about the dating process. I’ve always really hated that when you are dating someone, you are also kind of dating their friends. Like I didn’t sign up for that. I really like you but I really don’t have to like all your friends. The person that I wrote it about, I got her permission before getting the song out. We are friends now, but there was a moment when we were not doing good.

—  Dan Reynolds
