In an interview with ''Kerrang!'' magazine, Davey Havok noted that this was the only song on the album that has 'whoa's on it (seeming to forget the 'whoa's on "Prelude 12/21" and "Miss Murder"), also noting the lack of 'whoa's on their 2003 album, ''Sing the Sorrow''.<ref name=KER>{{Cite web |url=http://www.afireinside.net/gallery/press/051006_kerrang_2.jpg |title=Archived copy |access-date=April 7, 2007 |archive-date=March 10, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310190401/http://www.afireinside.net/gallery/press/051006_kerrang_2.jpg |url-status=dead }}</ref>
