Writing and inspiration
The band explained about the song, "It's a feeling that anyone who's been through heartbreak will recognize. 'Chin Up Kid' can be a very relatable song to most. We wrote this song about keeping your head up through heartbreak and trying times. Young love can come and go before you realize you even had it. We hope this song motivates the listener to find inner strength to keep moving on and pressing forward."[3]
