Discussing the single, cellist, vocalist and principal songwriter Calvin Langman states, "I wanted to confront the very complicated love that I saw my parents share growing up. There was always this cycle of fighting, leaving, and coming home, but with no actual resolution along the way. I felt their determination to make their love work, contended with the fear of throwing decades away and tearing their family apart, even if it meant choosing unhappiness and staying together. I wanted the emotions in the lyrics to be fickle, changing abruptly from saying 'stay away', one line, to 'please come home', the next."The Happy Fits started as a casual summer project for longtime friends Calvin, guitarist Ross Monteith, and drummer Luke Davis before starting college. After their debut EP took off on Spotify during their first semester, they dropped out to record their 2018 full-length Concentrate. The band brought their joyous live shows across the country on multiple headlining tours, as well as supporting acts like This Wild Life and the Frights. And even now, with the shutdown, they're regularly livestreaming performances, maintaining the camaraderie that's earned them a particularly engaged fanbase.
