Background
[edit | edit source]Frontman William Gold stated that the song is about "finding someone who ironically isn't normal and that rare connection you get where you go 'oh damn, You’re different but in a good way'".[2]
Music video
[edit | edit source]The music video was directed by Ted Nivison and filmed in Los Angeles during the band's US tour. Nivison stated that he wanted to put the band in "old awkward family portraits from the '70s-'90s. I really wanted to have most of the video be like a collection of living portrait photography, with only the final chorus being the moment in which they break out of it."[3]
