Songfacts®:

  • "Off The Deep End" is a song about letting loose and embracing your wild side after a dark time. Priscilla Block sings of spending time cooped up at home after her man left her. Now she's stopped wallowing in her pity party and jumped "off the deep end" at the bar with other rowdy rousers.
  • Block's ex has been asking about her. The singer tells the dude she doesn't miss him as she's having a better time on the dance floor, knocking back the whisky, and shooting darts and playing pool with her new friends.
  • Block wrote "Off The Deep End" with producers Martin Johnson and Brandon Paddock. "We had such a blast creating 'Off the Deep End,'" said Block. "Hope this one gets you feeling a little wild whether it's at the bar, at the pool, or you found your Boat Daddy for the summer! Life's short – sometimes you gotta let your crazy side show!"
  • Boys Like Girls frontman Martin Johnson has written and produced for various artists including Jason DeRulo ("The Other Side") and Elle King ("Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)"). He often pairs up with Brandon Paddick; their collaborations include Avril Lavigne's "Here's To Never Growing Up" and Lady A's "Like A Lady."
