Background
Trifilio had this to say about the song in a press release:
[The song] is an anthem of change in perspective. Instead of viewing love as difficult the listener begins to open up to the possibility that just because the past was painful, doesn't mean the future has to be.[1]
The song's music video was directed by Matt Gehl of Chicago-based filmmaking agency Everybody's Baby. Ben Kaye at Consequence of Sound described it as a combination of the work of John Hughes and the film Eighth Grade.[2]
Reception
Writing for Consequence of Sound, Ben Kaye said the song "[oozes] with the optimism of a young romantic daydreamer, the track uses pounding percussion and breezily beatific guitar lines to push aside loneliness."[2]
