And I think then it harkens back to my family, and I have such a strong tie to them and it's always therapeutic to sing about them."[3] Ruess came up with the song and album title while on tour in Scotland; he wrote the song based on the title. Lyrically, the song is about "just being someone different on any given night."[4]"
