Background
The song was written in 2017. In regard to the message, Vic Fuentes said:
It's about if you've ever been betrayed by somebody you felt was a friend, and the wound never really mended—where even an apology doesn't feel like it's enough. It feels like it can never really be resolved. So, it's a bit angry, a bit sour, a bit difficult to think about. But I always want to write about things that are affecting my life.[3]
