Director Hannah Gray Hall said:
“I have grown up listening to Papa Roach, and a beautiful thing about the band, is you have people who have been with them for 25 years, and new fans finding them now. Their music is inherited. This song really spoke to me emotionally, and I am stoked to have the opportunity to make an accompanying piece for it.”
