Sum 41 singer, Derek Whibley, grew up as an only child to a single teenage mother and has never met his father. He wrote this song about his absent dad. Whibley said: "I've never met my father, and I don't really care about that; he's never been there and it's never been a 'thing' in my life, probably because my mom is so strong. I asked myself, 'What do I really think about essentially not having a father?' The one thing we share is this concept of missing out on that father-son relationship – he's the only person in my family I have that connection with, and it's the only connection we have."

The song is also a nod to Whibley's mom. He in a another interview "she was such a great, strong single mother, that I didn't need to think about him, it was sort of a subconscious thought. So it's kind of like all those three things wrapped up in one to me."
