He admits that no matter how hard he tries he still can't stop.
In an exclusive interview included in the single’s booklet, Josh explained his thoughts when performing the song, ”I’ve made many mistakes. Many of them, and yet people somehow still like me.

== Lyrics ==
Verse 1:
Yeah.. Yeah... I didn't forget about y'all, it's just been a tough time away. Having to please everyone, it's hard to keep in touch with everyone at the Bay. Distractions here, distractions there. They're everywhere and they're always there. I won't lie, I made mistakes. I dealt with the wrong crowd, and now I try and put on the brakes. It's so hard, almost impossible to stop. Everything is catching up to me, soon I'll be the victim of yet another pop. The distractions are all around me. And yet I can't stop.
