It was written by Faber Drive, Chad Kroeger and Brian Howes, while production was handled by Howes and Joey Moi, with additional production from Kroeger. The song was recorded at Mountainview Studios in Abbotsford, British Columbia.[3] Lyrically, the song is about regret and frustration of backing out of a relationship prematurely: "Instead of holding you, I was holding out/ I should have let you in, but I let you down."[4] Musically, critics have compared the track to U2 and Def Leppard, with AllMusic writer Jo-Ann Greene noting its "U2 influence."[5][6]
