Though the song isn't strictly about it, I think it was 9/11 which inspired them to write it. Being New Yorkers, the Boys wanted to show their love and appreciation for the city. Since the tragedy, NYC has underwent some changes both mentally and physically, but it is still a place that millions of people are proud to call their home (myself included). Its the perfect anthem for how great the city is and how much it means to the people who live there. An amazing song and I can fully say this is one of my favorite BB songs ever. Even if you don't like the guys, you can't deny the power and emotion behind this song.
