"We can write a song we like that we think the fans are going to connect with. That's what kind of the goal is for art in general, making that connection, said Higgenson in an interview with Yahoo! Music. The whole point of putting of yourself out there is hoping to make that connection, hoping to change somebody's life and make somebody's day a little bit better. To have a song a song that does that. That's the goal. That's what we want."
