It is the first original song Fowler released to his Facebook to show that he could write, but revealed in 2020 that "Sweet Nothings" was the first out of his posted songs to be composed. He was also writing "Lay My Hat" around the same time."Fovvs (@fovvs)". Twitch. 9 November 2020.
While it is popular in the fandom, he believed it to be his best original, but overrated."Fovvs (@fovvs)". Twitch. 22 October 2020."Fovvs (@fovvs)". Twitch. 9 November 2020. When asked what his favourite song that he ever performed in his career was, Fowler responded that his favourite moment ever was his first solo show between two bands (Overload and RoadTrip).
