Rateliff told Rolling Stone that the song is, at heart, a troubled song about drinking your life away after a break-up, and explained in an article in Westword that the lyrics are based on his personal experience with delirium tremens during alcohol withdrawal. He also told BBC that the song is a "joke song" and originally his band didn't plan to record it, but due to positive reception, did so and released it as a single. Nathaniel has since stated that he believes the song is the best song ever recorded.
