Songfacts®:

  • The band's lead singer, Tyler Connolly explained this song during a concert. He said: "I wrote this song because one day I got out of bed and was like, 'Today feels like it's going to be a bad day. I can feel it.' I realized that there are people out there that have it worse than most people who bitch and complain, and decided to write it so maybe it could make someone's day a little better."
  • Connolly's wife, the actress Christine Danielle, appeared in this song's music video. She also appeared in their clip for "Bad Girlfriend."
  • Connolly told Kerrang! May 2, 2009: "I don't hate my life. It's more me just relating to the everyday person and how they get frustrated." He added: "It's supposed to be funny. People can listen to it and laugh. It's one of those therapeutic songs. You're not alone when you're having a bad day."
