Songfacts®:

• Cole Gallagher was just 21 in 2023 when he released this musical love story on his EP The Confluence. He didn't have a specific person in mind when he wrote it.
  
  "What inspired the song? It's hard to tell," he said on the Songfacts Podcast. "I was thinking about this the other day because I genuinely couldn't remember what it was about. Normally I don't talk too much about the specifics behind what the lyrics mean because I think one of the most important parts of music is the fact that a listener can hear something and they attach their own meaning. Once I put the song out, the song is no longer mine. It's for everybody who listens to it."
• Gallagher wrote the song during COVID quarantine and recorded it with members of Jason Isbell's 400 Unit. It was produced by Vance Powell, whose other clients include Chris Stapleton and Jack White.
  
  He used Google Docs instead of a traditional notebook, so he could look back and see exactly when he worked on the song. He started it on June 6, 2020, and finished it on June 28. Gallagher wrote a lot during the quarantine because "there was nothing else to do."
• The music video was directed by Nielson Hubbard and Joshua Britt. In the clip, Gallagher's girlfriend is a vampire. We don't see her bite him, but we know she feasted on something or someone.
