Music and lyrics
The song is a poppy, keyboard-driven new wave number and is the first Lights song to feature prominent, though moderate Auto-Tune. It is about Lights telling someone of her troubles and how she doesn't like who she's become. Furthermore, she tells them that one day, she will need them to save her.
Chart performance
A week after the song's release in Canada, the song has entered the Canadian Hot 100, debuting at number 49.[1]
Music video
The video features Lights drawing comics in her bedroom, which gradually animate and send her comic self into outer space. Lights lands on a desolate planet and walks around, looking for something. She picks up a crystal and plants it into the earth, causing the dark sky to become filled with light and the plants to thrive once again - she becomes the "saviour" of the planet. The video concludes with Lights sitting in her bedroom, watching a pink lamp that is increasingly glowing with ethereal light.
