Frontman Julian Casablancas explained the song's meaning to NME:
"I guess it's about someone who works in the military and has a
girlfriend. It's cheesy, I guess, but it's about having to leave a loved
one behind."
Casablancas admitted that
Clarence Clemons' 1985 duet with Jackson Browne, "You're A Friend Of
Mine," was an inspiration for this song. He said: "I weirdly
like the bridge and the chorus of that Clarence Clemons song. So that
was the vibe we were going for" He then sheepishly added, "I shouldn't
confess to these things!"
