Stated by Michael Poulsen, "[Pearl Hart] is a real character who was born in the 18th century. She got a telegram saying that her mother was dying, and that she had no money to buy medicine. So Lady Pearl, together with her husband, dresses in men’s clothes, jumps on a horses and stop a stagecoach. There’s an Englishman, an American and a Japanese guy on the stagecoach, and Pearl takes their money – but she leaves them one dollar each so they can at least buy something to eat. The money she gets should get medicine for her money, but Pearl and her husband get caught by the local sheriff and she ends up in jail. It’s a beautiful story. Of course, it’s wrong to rob a stagecoach, but she’s desperate and the money is for her mother. Somehow, you can see that it’s not all wrong."
Furthermore, behind the song's origin, he stated, "I started writing those kinds of lyrics and I locked myself into this bubble. It is a process where I read a lot of books and get inspired by movies. When it comes to Pearl Hart, she was a character that I was reading about way back. I had forgotten all about her, but when I started writing material for this new album, I wanted not only to bring up some of the legendary male gunslingers; I wanted to look into the shady ladies as well. I remembered reading about Pearl Hart, so I got back to some of the old books and there she was."
