About this song
The track contrasts sharply with the upbeat nature of its album. Brendon Urie explained on the Zach Sang Show that he liked ending the album on a somber ballad, saying he appreciates contrast after so many high-energy, danceable songs.
What it's about
The song follows someone who moves to Los Angeles chasing their dreams, only to be gradually worn down and lose hope, becoming the kind of person they swore they never would. It is a darker take on the city than the band's earlier song "LA Devotee".
