The story behind the song

This pop ballad explores the painful deterioration of a relationship. It begins with minimalist keyboard instrumentation, designed to emphasize the anguished vocals and the heartbreaking counterpoint to a previous, more upbeat song. The song, from the album Bangerz, was inspired by artists like OneRepublic and Timbaland's approach to big ballads. At its heart, it plays like a raw expression of romantic devastation.
