From Claudio, discussing the new song with Rolling Stone:
"We collaborate on so many things, my wife and I: music, comics, but here we are now, collaborating on a life together. It was huge. Especially for the time — like I said, I had this sense of identity crisis. Songs like "Eraser" and "Island" and "Colors" certainly echo those ideas of, like, "Who am I? Do I want to be someone else?" When we found out that we were pregnant, all of that didn't really matter anymore. And here this person was that is so important to me, and we're about to do this together. And it was just my way of expressing my gratitude to her. And I know some people would say, "Well, Mars is a limitation. You only love her to Mars? We have an ever-expanding universe out there, and we're only a part of this small galaxy." Well, for me it's like, I'll never know what that distance is. To me, that might as well be infinity. My love for her is ever-expanding."
