Songfacts®:

  • Over her and longtime collaborator Sam Taylor's guitars, Nadia Reid sings of friendship with her fellow musicians. She recounts hearing one of her pal's songs on the radio and wants to "roll" with her.
  • Reid told Mojo magazine half of the song is about fellow New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding and the other half is about someone she refuses to name. Reid added that she played the song to Harding in Cardiff. "There might have been one or two tears in her eyes," she said.

    "One thing that keeps me grounded is my relationship with other women musicians, talking about how bizarre and unnatural a lot of this stuff is," Reid continued. "This life can be quite damaging in terms of the praise and attention and coming down from that."
