À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque des souvenirs d'un amour innocent et désinhibé, où tout semblait plus simple et joyeux. Elle nous plonge dans un nostalgique retour en arrière, rappelant des moments de complicité, de passion et de rêve avant que la réalité ne vienne altérer ces instants magiques. L’artiste parle de l’authenticité des débuts, de cette insouciance qui fait rêver, et suggère que parfois, il suffit de fermer les yeux pour se souvenir de ses origines, de cet état de « débutant » où tout était encore à explorer. Matt Nathanson a présenté ce morceau lors de l'un de ses concerts en ligne pendant le confinement, ce qui lui a permis de toucher son public tout en apportant une note de réconfort dans un monde difficile.
