Stated inspiration: Written for The Hunger Games (2012) with The Civil Wars and T Bone Burnett. Taylor said the lyrics are about Katniss's empathy and compassion for other characters: "I thought it would be an action-adventure type of thing, but it's so much more emotional than that. There's a huge amount of sadness."
