Metric, Brie Larson
Written during the sessions for Metric's Fantasies, the song went through several revisions before being cut from the album. At one point it carried the nickname "Freddie", a reference to Queen's Freddie Mercury. Emily Haines has said the lyrics came out in one stream-of-consciousness burst and that the imagery seemed to come from nowhere. The song was later used in the film Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, where Edgar Wright and Nigel Godrich interpolated it, and Haines felt it fit the movie's scene unexpectedly well.
In the context of the film, the song can be heard as being about friends who have grown apart.
