The single has been certified Platinum and gold by the RIAA.[1] BackgroundAccording to the song's writer Martin Johnson in a lyric feature on PlayPro.com, the lyrical content of the song is about his graduating from high school.[2] {{quotation | This song is about leaving the town I grew up in with my best friends at my side. A graduation-type song with a “we’re up to no good, fuck this town, let’s do it up for one more night” twist. I wrote it as a last hurrah to high school, growing up, and in a sense… the last night of being a kid. It’s the end of one chapter… with an outlook on the future… sort of like a prequel to the rest of the record.}}Music videoThe music video was directed by Alan Ferguson and was filmed in January 2007.
