“I wrote this song at a very low point for me,” says frontman Dan Reynolds. “I struggled quite a bit with self-love over the years. I was in a deep rut of depression and turned to music for refuge.”
“I’ve since spent many years in therapy working on self-love. I believe therapy is the reason I am still alive today,” he added. “If it’s ever a question of whether or not you should go to therapy, the answer is always yes – Stay alive.”
