The origin of this song dates back to when an interviewer asked Nothing But Thieves why their catalog was lacking in romantic tunes. And the reason why such was so is because the band felt that particular category of music has been overused. However, they still acknowledged said individuals’s observation. But instead of beating a dead horse, they decided to drop a “real love song”, i.e. one whose lyrics are indicative of the harsh realities of being smitten. And as such, the way the singer basically comes off is as if he is the victim of unrequited affection. And accordingly, the lyrics are largely centered on him shall we say trying to humble himself into his romantic interest’s heart.
