Songfacts®:

  • Panic! At The Disco frontman Brendon Urie penned this slow and elegant piano ballad about his wife. He told American Songwriter magazine that it was something he'd never done before on a record. "It was very honest, very confessional," he said. "It was just a new way of going about it. I literally played there chords looped over and over and I just sang this thing and it was very bare bones which, for me, is kind of rare because I usually produce a beat and then I'll write something else over it."
  • Urie said during a Reddit Q&A that this is his favorite song on Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! as it "has the most personal meaning to me."
