  • Co-singer/guitarist Ed Droste recalled to Drowned In Sound: "The earliest written song on the album and one of the favourites. Dan just came in one day, and presented it to us."
  • This was the first ever track to receive a 10/10 review from the Pitchfork music website. They stated that the track "proves what Grizzly Bear are capable of when they try and meet the pop-inclined listener halfway."
  • The single's b-side is the same track with the lead vocals done this time by Michael McDonald, of the Doobie Brothers.
  • The song's music video was directed by Sean Pecknold, the brother of Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold.
