Background and composition
Jacoby Shaddix often dedicates the song to late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, who died of suicide in 2017.

Speaking about the song and raising awareness of suicide and those who struggle internally, Shaddix expressed:

""This issue doesn't just affect one of us, or a few of us, it affects all of us. We're proud to work alongside the AFSP to support their mission to bring hope to those affected by suicide, and proud that this song – which has been special to us since it was first written – can play a part in bringing a little more light to an incredibly important topic"."
