Songfacts®:

  • Deap Vally are a Rock duo consisting of guitarist and vocalist Lindsey Troy and drummer Julie Edwards. Troy told Coup de Main magazine about their songwriting process: "We're definitely a jam-based band," she said, "so writing is mostly done with Julie behind the kit, and me with my electric guitar and a microphone. Sometimes we'll come in with a riff idea, or I'll come in with a lyric idea or Julie will come in with a lyric idea or a beat or something, and then we jam it out together - and that's when we really kind of figure out the song. And just like playing it live and seeing what gels and making changes to it. So it's always different, but that keeps it really nice and exciting."
  • This song finds the Californian pair recasting the trip home after a one-night stand into a walk of pride. "We wanted to turn the shame upside down," Edwards told NME.
