Background

The song revolves around the theme of losing loved ones, ^[1] with Alex Warren paying tribute to his deceased parents. Following the song's release, he shared a related message:

My parents aren't alive to see me get married, so I'm saving them an empty seat. This song is extremely special to me as I'm getting married in June. It allows me to illustrate the feeling of them being there in spirit, that I can see that open seat as my wife walks down the aisle. It's also been so cool to see the song go viral on TikTok and see everyone's videos of the sound. A lost Mother/Father, dog or pet, child or friend. EVERYONE can relate to loss. So, I'm very excited to share this song with everyone. ^[2]
