Following Get You Down, the moving, mid-tempo track finds the North Shields singer-songwriter reflecting on his relationship with his father over a jangly guitar melody.
It also serves as the latest preview of his upcoming LP, 'Seventeen Going Under', due out on October 8 via Polydor Records. Introducing the song on social media, Fender commented:
"This is one of my favourite songs on the new record, it's a song about boys and their dads. It's based around my own relationship with my old man, and how we both struggle as blokes to communicate the way we feel to each other without it becoming a stand off. It's about how the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as I get further in to my twenties I see so much of myself in him, especially when it comes to being stubborn.
"The second half of the song talks about seeing him with my grandma when she passed away, and how I saw him as a son, and how that moment reminded me to make the most of my time with him. If anything, it is a declaration of love for him."
