In an interview with Beats 1, Shawn described the song as a “confident pop record” and went on to say that
This is the one that consistently every time I play it for myself, or for friends and family, it has just given people ‘that’ smile.
Quotable Lyrics:
Oh, I’m good at keeping my distance
I know that you’re the feeling I’m missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can’t have you
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
