Vocalist and lyricist Andrew Fisher described the song as being about his efforts to try to do a better job of living in the moment: Musically, the song was described by 'Billboard' as a "melodic rocker" that "strikes a cozy balance between the grunge textures that used to rule alternative radio and classic emo influences".
