The song was reportedly written about by Allan Gregg, a Canadian pollster and political advisor. At the time, the Tragically Hip were managed by the Management Trust Ltd., where Gregg was a partner. As he discussed on the Toronto Mike'd podcast, Gregg says the band wrote the song in response to some critical feedback he provided on early versions of tracks for the band's 1994 album, Day for Night .
