The story behind the song

This song explores the difficult aftermath of a long-term relationship's breakup, particularly how it impacts mutual friends. It captures the tenderness and challenge of navigating friendships with both individuals involved after they've parted ways. While there was speculation about the song being about his own marriage, the artist stated it was inspired by the ex-wife of a mutual friend. It plays like a thoughtful reflection on the emotional ripples of separation.
