Content

Moore wrote the song with his producer, Jeremy Stover, along with Boys Like Girls member Paul DiGiovanni and songwriter Chase McGill. The song, which according to Rolling Stone features "a soaring chorus and weeping guitar work", pays tribute to soldiers who did not return from duty.[2] Angela Stefano of the blog The Boot said of the song that "Listeners who are expecting a somber melody won't get that, though the lyrics are still devastating enough to draw a tear or two." and "The lyrics are just specific enough to paint a vivid picture, yet they're general enough to evoke the stories of any number of fallen military members."[3] Moore said that the song's message was inspired by his paternal grandparents.[4]
