Kat Bein of Billboard deemed the song an "emotive pop ballad" with "a slow, steady build".^[1] David Rishty of the same publication wrote that it "taps into some Bruce Springsteen vibes with strumming guitars, underground narratives and a pushing voice".^[2] Mike Wass of Idolator named the song "one of the most anthemic" on the album.^[3]

The accompanying music video was directed by Tim Mattia. It depicts a love story of a young couple, who are tired of their jobs at the diner and mechanic's office.^[4] Intercut with clips of them drinking beers in chained-fence yards and buying groceries, they later broke into a mansion in Los Angeles, where they make out in their underwear.^[5] The female partner was eventually caught by the police.^[2][3]
