Background and composition

The origins of the song's title comes from a note Markwick wrote in her diary about a year before the song was recorded. Lyrically, the song deals with the anxieties of young adulthood. Speaking about the track, Markwick said: "It was inspired by conversations we’ve had and feelings shared amongst our friends. It’s about the irony of wishing you could act in the moment through hindsight – living life the way you think your future self would want you to." [1]
