During the Jonas Brothers Countdown to A Little Bit Longer iTunes podcast to mark the release of the band's third album, Nick Jonas said the following:

"This song is about being in a relationship with somebody and getting into arguments that will not work out that night. It's also one of my favorite songs on the album. "
Music video
The music video was shot by Bruce Hendricks , who directed both the video and the band's 3D concert film, Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience . In the video you can see excerpts from this film: Live recordings of the piece as well as some backstage scenes.
