In an interview with Zane Lowe, Rivers said that the song was about his mixed feelings with escapism, and that it reminded him of the song "[[Surf Wax America]]" in that respect. The song's verse melody appears to have been re-appropriated from "[[When We Were Young]]", a song originally intended for ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. According to music journalist Scott Heisel, the bass chord progression was changed prior to release.<ref>Heisel, Scott. "Poll - High as a Kite: Yay or Nay?"
