Background
Sebastian admits that The HamilTones remind him of growing up and his involvement in church music. Sebastian wrote "Let Me Drink" on the night before The HamilTones were scheduled to join Sebastian in the studio to record some backing vocals for his upcoming album. Sebastian recalls thinking "I'm crazy if I don't write something that's super-catered to them... I reckon it probably took 15 minutes to write. I started singing that 'Come on let me drink' melody, I could immediately hear the background vocals and I just knew it had to be a call-and-response thing. And then I sat down and nutted out a standard blues chord progression. With me, I write really quickly if Im led by something."
On 3AW radio, Sebastian told Denis Walter the song is "very lighthearted". He told Walter "I needed something a little bit light, and something that wasn't so emotional because 'Choir' is about losing a friend of mine, and 'Before I Go' was quite an emo sort of song as well."
