The story behind the song

This song, released in 2019, is a reflection of John Mayer's artistry, where he explores themes and sounds that evoke a sense of nostalgia. It later appeared on his album Sob Rock, which was largely born out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The album was conceived as a homage to the music Mayer grew up with in the '80s, aiming to "confuse the listeners" and "implant false memories" through its sound. Playing this song can feel like stepping into a familiar yet dreamlike memory.
