The fifth and final track of the EP was the first one I wrote in 2021, but for a while I wasn't sure if it would work because it was written for 7-string guitar, and I wasn't really happy with how my 7-string sounded. No matter what amp I ran it through or what pedals were used, it always sounded muddy and lacked clarity. I decided to try swapping out the pickups for a set of DiMarzio Crunch Lab 7 and LiquiFire 7 pickups, and honestly, it's easily ten times better sounding than it ever has been.
The fade out into piano at the end was inspired by the way the track "Epic" by Faith No More ends, where the band fades out and the song ends with a piano playing the guitar chord progression.
