Front man Isaac Wood has the following to say about the single's themes, "it describes a series of events, loosely connected, all yet to happen. The song was intended to be highly inspirational. The lyrics are sometimes concerned with symbols of wealth or affluence but they are not written from a critical or even external position."

May Kershaw - Keys

Isaac Wood - Vocals/Guitar
Tyler Hyde - Bass
