This song is about hooking up with your ex. It was written to be feel-good rather than full of regrets like most hook-up-with-your-ex songs are.
About the opening line Andrew Taggart says, "I drink a lot. Most of my relationship issues come from drunk times."
They used the setting of the "hotel bar" as a sort of nostalgic memory for that scenario to happen. It paints a vivid image of a girl at the bar and the rush of emotions that cones along with that.
The line "we ain't ever getting older" is meant to show the message of how nothing has changed between them. Andrew Taggart, a Syracuse grad, says that the girl in this song represents all of his exes from his university.
The Blink-182 song they are referring to is "I Miss You," which Halsey did an impromptu cover of at one of her shows. The buys also covered it in their sets when they were just starting out.
Halsey has a rose tattooed on her shoulder which they refer to biting in the chorus.
The idea for the duet came about in order to give the song more of a story line with some depth and characters with dialogue, because originally Andrew was just going to sing her verse.
