Background and composition

He stated, "We recorded it one night and sent it to all our friends. They thought it was awesome, so we started to send it to labels and people in the music business."[4] The song peaked at number one on AOL Radio.[5] The track was featured on Warped Tour's Free Sampler, released via iTunes.[6]
