about this song

English indie rocker James Bay released this song in 2014—the second single from his debut album Chaos and the Calm. The song had already gone platinum by the time full album came out. Bay’s music career was taking off and he spent a lot of time away from home, touring. He felt anxious about being away from his friends and family. This anxiety was clarified in a single moment—he was headlining his first show in London, hoping he’d get to spend time with his friends and family.
