"It’s essentially about going back to the day that we decided to take a real shot at this band. I feel like the reason the song was written was that the longer we’re in this band, the more we realize those moments happen quite a bit—those moments of taking a leap of faith, per se, and hoping for the best. The song deals with the day we decided to take a shot at signing to a major label for the first time, dropping everything, going on tour and opting out of going to college—taking that beaten path, I guess. The reason I think this song became so pertinent when it was written was because it was happening at a time when we’d just parted ways with Interscope, and it was another leg in our adventure. Even signing to Interscope and then parting ways a year later, both of those things felt like the same kind of leap of faith. It’s that angle that’s a big overtone of the entire record, and the reason we wanted to put this song forward first—because it speaks to the whole record and sets up the whole thing."
