This song and others off the same album will be featured in Senses Fail's upcoming greatest hits album entitled "Follow Your Bliss: The Best of Senses Fail".

Lead singer Buddy Nielsen discusses the story behind the song:

A music video was recently filmed for the song displaying a rather scrawny young boy who does not seem to add up to his father's expectations. Constantly harassed by his older brother throughout the video, he enters a chest in his room only to come out in the form of a large gremlin-looking character. The video ends with the transformed son frightening his parents in their sleep. Scenes of the band playing the song in front of an audience in a tent are intercut with the storyline of the video.
