In a statement regarding the track, Middlefield recalled its original conception as an acoustic ballad, describing how it had been set aside but later revived for this release. The EP represents a significant milestone in her journey as an artist, providing an emotional outlet for listeners who may feel resonant with themes of longing and heartache.
