The song was held back for some time as the band felt that it was "not a good representation of what [they] honestly sound like", but was later considered and ultimately chosen for inclusion on the album after feedback from Peake's girlfriend, who told Kroeger that "You have to record that on the next album. It's a great song."
The song was initially kept off the table due to the band's doubts, but it eventually made the cut after receiving backing from Peake's companion, who believed it had great potential and urged Kroeger to include it on their next album.
