Decided to Break It

"Decided to Break It" is a pop punk track, written and produced by Josh Ramsay, as well as being co-produced by Warne Livesey. It was written about Ramsay's recovery as an addict, which resulted in insomnia and contains themes of disappointment and self-loathing. He spoke about the song in further detail with UWO Gazette stating, "Basically ['Decided to Break It'] was a stream of consciousness sort of writing, because at that time I was trying so hard to fall asleep and I just couldn't. At the end of it, when I say 'I decided to break it,' I'm trying to refer to trying to break this cycle of never sleeping, which is a bit of a silly line in some respects because it's kind of not in your control anyway." ==Chart performance==
