Having the last laugh following the song's success, the musician said, "I'm super grateful that person [that broke my heart]. I think it's so great to know that that pain is necessary because […] you know, pain is paying the bills still. I'm trying to stop putting myself in positions to get hurt because you'll always have to do that but they say the best revenge is success."
