It opens the album at 3:11; the album is written and performed by M.C. Taylor, though the pages we read do not state a writer for the song. Stereogum named it the best song on the album, and Uncut described it as an opener whose opening leap and lift frames the record, though we saw both only in search summaries. A live solo video of Taylor shot on 16mm film in Cornwall, England, directed by the collective Before the Winter Fires, was posted on July 18, 2014 ahead of the album.

MusicBrainz lists live versions from The Parish in Austin on October 16, 2016 (6:21, on Parker's Picks Vol. 1), a 2019 fundraiser for Durham Public Schools (7:00) and EartH in London on June 15, 2022 (8:02). We found no statement from Taylor on the song's meaning, no chart entry and no covers.
