“Björk inspired me to write this song. There was an interview where she talked about how American bands sound like cars, because that’s what the culture revolves around – fuzzy distorted guitar tones sound like motors. Also since the beginning of pop music there’s been songs about driving, riding, trucking or cruising, or about the car itself. I wanted to play into that with a Big Daddy Roth vibe.
“It made sense for it to also be a love song, but I wanted to do it in an interesting way. My girlfriend often refers to her close friends as ‘ride or die’ which became the chorus lyrics. We’re also big fans of Natural Born Killers and it made me think of a story about an outlaw breaking out of jail to find his girl to do heists and ride off into the sunset.”
