experience touring other nations. "Who Lost" is a song about other people in someone's life making his rivalry between him and a sibling pointless. It is based on Duncan's childhood experiences with his brother. "Last to Leave" is, according to Duncan, a map of a failed relationship he had with a former partner. Duncan said "Do I Hear" is about getting into someone else's lifestyle while "being yourself and coping with and embracing your quirks, sexuality, and character." "Jupiter," in Duncan's word, is a "romanticised" version of a "strange" experience he had in a gay boat party he went to after performing in Hamburg in 2015; he called it "a euphoric song, yet slimy and unnerving."

On 2 September 2016, The 405 premiered the video for the song which was directed by Helen Plumb.
