Background
The tune deals with the loss of lead vocalist Leigh Kakaty's father.[1] Per a social media initiative started by the band, fans were asked to submit photos representing what the tune meant to them.[2] Regarding the song, lead vocalist Leigh Kakaty states "There’s nothing more haunting & torturous to the human soul than the feeling of losing someone close to you without saying goodbye".[3]
Critical reception
The Chattanooga Pulse states that the song is "destined for the type of hardwon ubiquity earned by “Last Man Standing,” “Monster You Made” and the Mick Mars collaboration “Boss's Daughter”"[4] while Alessandra Donnelly of EOne Entertainment describes the tune as "a slow, brokenhearted ballad with a simple, catchy melody that flows into an emotional solo".[5] The Valley Beat goes on to say that "though they resemble the likes of one of their previous ballads, “Monster You Made”, they still have enough balls to fit right in on this record".[6]
