Songfacts®:

  • Kevin Parker married his girlfriend of five years, Sophie Lawrence, on February 9, 2019. The ceremony took place at a Western Australia vineyard with a reported 175 guests. Lawrence is a co-founder of the Australian ice-cream company Denada Co.

    This song is about Parker's frame of mind when proposing to Sophie.

    I'm about to do something crazy, no more delaying
    No destiny is too far
    We can get a home in Miami, go and get married
    Tattoo your name on my arm


    Parker has an "S" tattoo on his right arm.
  • Parker wrote this statement about the song for Apple Music:

    "In love and feeling fearless. Let's be reckless with our futures. The only thing special about the past is that it got us to where we are now. Free from feeling sentimental... we don't owe our possessions anything. Let's do something that can't be undone just 'cause we can. The future is our oyster."
