David Bazan: "This song is one of the few totally autobiographical songs in the Pedro the Lion catalog. I was writing It’s Hard to Find a Friend and I was getting a little bogged down. I was feeling like I just wanted to go some place and sit and make something up. At the time, my room was totally filthy and I was feeling like a bit of a failure and a relatively undisciplined person, in general. So I went upstairs to my friend Blake’s bedroom, which was totally clean and I was reminded of my little sister, who is far more disciplined than I am. She’s really a wonderful, diligent person. Very sweet and kind and on-top of her shit. This song just came out from that right there. Aside from a few minor changes, this one came out, start-to-finish, in the couple hours I spent in Blake’s room. It was a very satisfying thing to do. I was really longing to create something and what happened still holds a strong connection for me. "
