Cross wrote the song to mourn the death of Denison University college student Laura Carter, who was killed in Columbus, Ohio when she was struck by a stray bullet during gunfire in a gang war. Cross had come to meet Carter through her college roommate Paige McNinch, whom Cross was dating at the time. McNinch was pictured on the inner sleeve of the "Another Page" album, sitting on a stool. Cross wrote the song as a way of offering comfort to McNinch, and honoring Carter's memory.
