Speaking of the track, Merkules said, "When I wrote this record I had to dig deep down and address some things I had buried inside. I learnt that with success comes stress, and it can breed certain emotions that even I'm still not used too. I pride myself on being honest with my fans about what I go through on a day to day basis. I can only hope, that you feel my pain."
