In an interview with Kerrang! magazine, Davey Havok noted that this was the only song on the album that has 'whoa's on it (seeming to forget the 'whoa's on "Prelude 12/21" and "Miss Murder"), also noting the lack of 'whoa's on their 2003 album, Sing the Sorrow . [1]

Havok describes the song as proto-punk as well as saying that the song has "some definite U2 moments to it." [1]
