Trivia/Info

  • According to Linnell, the song sports "a loop of a stadium rock crowd clapping along rhythmically. It's underneath the entire song but you only hear it at certain moments." (Billboard.com)
  • The song also features a stylophone. Linnell: "I own two of these and they're both broken at this point. They sound like nothing else."
  • The vocal harmonies and chord progressions are reminiscent of "And Your Bird Can Sing" by The Beatles.
