• According to this song, the way to embrace the bachelor life after a breakup is to "throw some bacon on it." Nick Jonas explained on the UK radio show Capital Breakfast with Dave Berry: "So many people have asked me what the song is about and a lot of guesses were: it's the morning after and it's bacon because you're having breakfast. That's not at all what its about. The idea is when you are out of a relationship and you start to be okay with the fact that it's ended. In my case my life was great, it's so good that we should throw some bacon on it to make it even better."
