Banner told Consequence of Sound "The song is about feeling lost at sea and desperately searching for a beacon of light. It's about waiting for that one big wave to finally pull you under while clinging on to that one last ray of hope. It's a song to the person in your life that offers salvation while the storm is raging around you."[1]

The song was a hit in Canada peaking at number 71 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.[2] It also charted on Billboard specialized charts including reaching number 5 on Canadian Rock Airplay chart, number 25 on Canadian CHR/Top 40 Airplay chart and number 43 on the U.S. Rock Airplay chart.

The song was used in Los Angeles' bid for the 2024/2028 Summer Olympics. The song was also used in the soundtrack for the 2015 video game FIFA 16.[3] The song was also used in the film The Space Between Us, the television show The Good Doctor, and in the film Love, Simon.
