The song is a sped-up version of a bonus track from 2006's Oh! Calcutta!, “Warped Summer Extravaganza (Major Excellent).”
As Noisey reports, the track “was written to sound at home coming from an early 2000s Warped Tour stage,” bassist-vocalist Brendan Kelly says. (The band previously explained that Warped Tour is “destroying the economy of DIY,” getting kicked off the tour after pointing out its flaws.)
