As soon as I heard the keyboard riff our keyboard player Tomppa Nikulainen had come up with, I knew it would be fairly easy to end up with a good, catchy song. I wanted the chorus to be a sing-along type of thing - as always - and wanted to approach the thing through rhythm. I already had the melody for the chorus and tried singing it legato but something was missing. So we decided to splice up the first words to both bars of the chorus and ended up with a nice hook.

We basically had the song structured already when Tomppa came up with a great idea of modulating the second verse. It lifted the song nicely and made the return to the bridge sound interesting.

Lyrically it's basically about how hard it is to let go of someone after a relationship is over when you still have feelings for that person but knowing it only makes things worse if you stay in touch.
