Rateliff has said the song is, at heart, a troubled song about drinking your life away after a break-up, and explained that the lyrics are based on his personal experience with delirium tremens during alcohol withdrawal. He also described it as a "joke song" and said that originally his band didn't plan to record it, but due to positive reception, did so and released it as a single.
