Contents

The band worked with Ryan Smith on the music video for this song.[1] The video was filmed in Los Angeles and is inspired by the 1970s mod film Quadrophenia. [2]

The shoes on the cover art are derived from a competition where fans were asked to take polaroid pictures of their shoes. The winning submissions made the cover. The band Good Shoes are not intentionally referenced in the title.
