"This song's for anybody that feels like I did, never the cool kid," MGK said. "This song's for anybody who fought their way through, always remained true. This song's for anybody, the ones that's trying to get it the ones that dream it and live it."[3]

Critical reception

Lauren Tom of Billboard magazine said that the song has a "strong string of vocals, plenty of guitar riffs and an exciting electric sound MGK has used in the past with his other songs", "sends a powerful message through its lyrics, telling listeners to 'keep going' and to fight for your dream, always staying true to yourself."[5]
