==History==
In an interview with Pledgemusic, Joe Hawley said the chord progression to the song existed in his head since middle school, but he struggled with the first verse. The idea to make a song about Hot Rod Duncan also existed for years, but the two would never combine until a walk back from his local library.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20161007190304/http://www.pledgemusic.com/blog/joe-hawley-interview-2016 Joe Hawley Pledgemusic interview 2016]</ref>
