Content Following 17 years in the industry, Pearce needed to "fall back in love with music" and set out to create the most "honest era" of her career. Pearce co-wrote the song with Tofer Brown, Lauren Hungate, and Emily Weisband, and co-produced it with Ben West. Hungate brought the initial concept for the song to Pearce, who was inspired to write the song after moving into a house on a cul-de-sac surrounded by "women [her] age with husbands and growing families", which led her to write "about those sacrifices we make when chasing our dreams." Described as "an unfiltered look into the realities of fame", the song explores the darker side of a touring musician's career and the scrutiny they face being in the constant public eye, with Pearce acknowledging that she's living out her dream, even if it comes with unforeseen costs. The song ends with Pearce reflecting on her mom's health issues and the sacrifices she made to help her daughter achieve her dreams.
