The Ruben's Sam Margin explained the meaning of the song during its premiere on Triple J: "I see it as this guy who has messed up and lost someone in his life, and he's telling himself 'No, this is fine. Change is fine, I'm ok with this'. But then realising he's not ok and trying to rectify things but realises it's too late."[3]
The song won Most Performed Alternative Work at the APRA Music Awards of 2021.[4][5]
