Information

Unlike the band's more-known metalcore sound which incorporates growled vocals and breakdowns, the song uses only one of these attributes at the end of the song, and instead shows a direction towards hard rock with clean vocals.

On April 16, 2011, the band released an exclusive 7" vinyl single of the song, especially for Record Store Day. The vinyl pressing was limited to 2,000 copies for the US release (clear purple vinyl) and 1,000 copies for the international release (mint green vinyl) and featured an acoustic version of "All I Want" as a b-side.[1][2]

Lead vocalist, McKinnon stated that the song is about "taking chances, and doing what you think is right regardless of what people might think. To be honest, whats more important? Live life, and be happy with yourself".[3]
