What Is This Song About?

"This song is about the existential dread that comes with thinking your best days are behind you. The crushing anxiety that says you'll never be good enough. Realizing that your childhood dreams were all sorts of naive, and being an adult isn't all that great."

What Was Your Inspiration For This Song?

"Baby Molly. This song is a cover. Baby Molly is an artist from Canada who I met at a music conference several years ago. He released an EP in 2021, full of catchy pop/rock songs. The hook on this one wouldn't leave me, so I decided to cover it, but to change the genre to something closer to what I do."

What Do You Hope Listeners Will Get Out Of This Song?

"Rock and roll can sound like fun, despite somewhat depressing subject matter."

How Did You Approach This Song in The Studio?

"I worked with Patrick Himes and Brian Hoeflich at Reel Love Recording Studio on rearranging this existing song. I wanted to record it as if Superdrag had written it. We cranked up the tempo and added a guitar solo."
