According to Tim himself:
"These lyrics were originally, “Oh my God” instead of “Holy shit,” but that had felt a bit played out, so I went with something a little… less played out? Or, more simply, I like the sentiment of crying out, “Holy shit” a lot more than “Oh my God.”
I recall this song going through a few different compositions and a lot of indecision before landing on this final version. Funny, all that hemming and hawing over a song that clocks in at 1:49."
