This song was written by Tyler Connolly about his wife, the actress Christine Danielle.[2] Tyler is reminiscing about different times in their relationship, whilst also proclaiming his love for her.
Music video
A music video for this song was not made until mid-October, when it had already lost some popularity at the time. It features Tyler Connolly singing and playing guitar through a crowd of passing people, along with the band. A man leaves his house and goes to a street race against another clan of people. The setting of the video looks like it's from the 60's. It closely resembles The Outsiders novel/film, because the man was like a Greaser, while the other clan were like the Socs (during the racing scene near the end of the video).
