• Baby Fuzz wrote this with the hit songwriter Scott Harris ("Don't Let Me Down" by The Chainsmokers) and Eric Nally of Foxy Shazam. "Conceptually the song is essentially about dystopia and the preconceptions about what the future would be like, and how once you get there it's not anything like what you thought it would be," he explained on the Songfacts Podcast. It's supposed to be a very tongue-in-cheek song, but also with some messaging behind it. At the end of the day it's an environmentalist song."
• Baby Fuzz is Brandon Lowry, who using the pen name Sterling Fox, co-wrote the Adam Levine/Gym Class Heroes hit "Stereo Hearts," and also worked on songs for Lana Del Rey, Madonna, and Britney Spears. His Baby Fuzz persona leans into the absurd, which you can hear in lyrics like:
  
  I got tangled in a fishing net
  And harpooned by a creature with a beer gut
  
  Many of his songs started off as tracks he wrote for other artists but ended up keeping for himself.
