It was written by Max Kerman, Michael DeAngelis, Nick Dika, and Tim Oxford. Produced by John Congleton.
The accompanying music video was directed by Mark Myers.- The band said of the song, “When someone new enters your life, do you ever wonder, ‘what did last summer look like for this person? And for me? And what will next summer look like?’ This song is a nod to the beauty and the mystery of what might lay ahead, and an appreciation of how we got to today. There's a longing in the song, but it’s hopeful.”
