Background

"We've seen how people live in different parts of the world and we've developed intrinsic respect for different cultures and people. We've gone from driving down a highway to a show and seeing endless miles of shantytowns in Sao Paulo, to playing some of the richest places on earth."[2][4][5]
Composition
The song had been described as a "brisk rocker", "breezy rocker", that shifts between "a shuffle and a stomp", with bluesy guitar riffs and spindly guitar pedals over the top.[6][7] The track was also called "liberating and jubilant track that celebrates and reflects the band’s personal transformation over the past three years" by the band.[4] Overall, the track is considered very uptempo track.[8]
