• The song marks a significant departure in the sound of the band,
substituting their acoustic instrumentation for electric.
Marcus Mumford said:
"Towards the end of the Babel tour, we'd always play new songs during soundchecks,
and none of them featured the banjo, or a kick-drum," said Marcus Mumford.
We didn't say: 'No acoustic instruments.' But I think all of us had this desire to shake it up."
"The songwriting hasn't changed drastically; it was led more by a desire
to not do the same thing again. Plus, we fell back in love with drums! It's as simple as that."

Speaking about the Wilder Mind album:
"We're drawing off of four people's experiences over probably a year-long period, you know? So there
was plenty of content and stuff to write songs about. Everyone was writing what we thought were great lyrics."
"We've always said that it's a competition between songs rather than writers, so it's like,
whoever writes it, if it's a good song, it's in, And so the boys kept coming up with a bunch
of amazing lyrics that I found really fun to sing, and that was quite a liberating experience too,
really enjoying, relishing singing someone else's lyrics."
