The song is dedicated to the parents of the duo, the Smallbones, for the sacrifices they made in moving from Australia to the United States and molding them into the men they are now.[5] They shared in an interview with Billboard that their father used to work as a tour promoter in Australia who went into financial ruin over a tour gone wrong, and decided to move to the United States at age 40 with his family of six children at the time.[6] In the United States, their father began managing artists, including their sister Rebecca St. James, who went on to pursue a successful solo career while the duo worked with her backstage.[6] The duo also shared that they are working on a movie that is based on "Unsung Hero" which will tell the story of their parents' journey, and it will be their second film following Priceless (2016).[6]
