Shane said this about the song "Yeah, I was driving in the Detroit suburbs in this city called Birmingham, a very affluent area, and on the back of this soccer mom Mercedes-Benz SUV there was a sticker that said "I lift Detroit in prayer". This really pissed me off. Horrible economic times, one of the cities getting hit the hardest of all, and people are advertising they are helping Detroit by praying? I really think people could do a lot more than that, and it got me thinking about all of that. So I wrote the song about Detroit, sort of from the city's perspective."
