From Justin:

I think I was seventeen the first time anyone ever told me that I had changed their life for the better. I was on my bed at my mom's house in San Jose, California. My Swatch phone rang. Theresa Askins was on the phone for me. She'd been my girlfriend the summer before. We broke up because she moved away to Oregon. I always had felt she was so much more artistic than me, more worldly than me, and more experienced in every aspect of life than me. So, to have her phone me and tell me that little seventeen–year–old me had changed her life was a huge deal. It felt like getting a thank–you card from an angel.

I wrote this song the very second I hung up the phone. It was a song of thanks for the wonderful friends who made wonderful, life–changing moments like the one I had when Theresa called me that day so many years ago.

From Christoffer:

Funnily enough, on an album full of arrangements and production, this is maybe my favourite. It's basically just Justin's voice and guitar with some minor additions of sound to create a little tension, but it's stunningly beautiful to my ears. The demo sounded a lot like this except for the little sounds, and it was one of the songs that really caught my attention when I first listened to Justin's music.
