Songfacts®:

This track, written in January 2016, is a "follow on" from the last album's breakup song "Getaway," which was penned in November 2015. "There's a Reason" finds Tom Ogden explaining to his ex that he doesn't return her calls for fear of falling for her again.
The song's music video finds Blossoms on the streets of Tokyo. "Shooting a music video in Japan was something we'd wanted to do for a while", the band said of the visual. "We took influence from The Beatles' A Hard Days Night and tried to capture the camaraderie between us a band of friends."

"We've been to Japan a couple of times and we fell in love with it from the first time we went," they added. "When we wanted to make a video overseas somewhere, it was always going to be Tokyo. We loved being chased around the streets and it made five lads from Stockport feel like the Beatles for a day."
