Mackenzie explaining the meaning and story behind the song:
“‘Moon & Back’ was written from the perspective of my birth mother. I met her once; I believe I was 8. When I graduated from high school, my mom gave me a journal that my biological mother had written while she was pregnant with me. It was a tiny little spiral notebook. I read that and went to college and wrote “Moon & Back”. It was basically my perspective of her perspective when she wrote that journal.”
