Background

Trifilio had this to say about the song in a press release:

[The song] is an anthem of change in perspective. Instead of viewing love as difficult the listener begins to open up to the possibility that just because the past was painful, doesn't mean the future has to be.[1]

The song's music video was directed by Matt Gehl of Chicago-based filmmaking agency Everybody's Baby. Ben Kaye at Consequence of Sound described it as a combination of the work of John Hughes and the film Eighth Grade.[2]

Reception

Writing for Consequence of Sound, Ben Kaye said the song "[oozes] with the optimism of a young romantic daydreamer, the track uses pounding percussion and breezily beatific guitar lines to push aside loneliness."[2]

gollark: I tested it on a few test cases and it seems okay.
gollark: Is there a BLAKE2 implementation for CC? It might make various potatOS things faster.
gollark: It might actually be an issue with HTTP and not the hash function itself; different text encoding or something. I am using binary mode, so this seems unlikely.
gollark: It's still doing it though.
gollark: Oh, *now* I remember, potatOS failed to verify hashes on CraftOS-PC somehow.
