• This upbeat, joyful anthem about escapism was one of a number of songs written by Murray MacLeod for Hold On To Your Heart during a time of deep depression. The XCerts frontman was getting over the breaking down of a five-year relationship and had lost his grandmother and one of his best friends so there was a lot of darkness to process.
  
  "It stems from a night where I was laying on the floor thinking 'this can't be it. This can't be me, this can't be my life and I ain't going down like this!' It was really beneficial for me to experience though because it was a dark place, the mansion was really rotten but it inspired me to move on and start again," McLeod told The Independent. "I wanted to bring myself back and make myself feel better; it inspired me to find hope in the dark I'd been hiding in. I started to romanticize my negativity and that was the beginning of many of the songs that ended up on the album. It's a very important record to me, I think if we hadn't written these songs, I would have been lost at sea."
