Tegan Quin explained the meaning behind the song in a press release.

“‘Fucking Up What Matters’ felt like an ode to the moment in your life when you realize that you have most, if not all, of the things you wanted, and you start to think about what would happen if you just walked away from it all. It’s the moment in the middle of the night when you start to daydream about something else, something you never imagined.  It’s the feeling you have when you think you might have hit a new low, and yet you’ve never felt so good. Sometimes it’s admitting that you can’t stop yourself from fucking up what matters, that you feel your strongest. And as my mom would say, it’s often when we’re fucking up what matters that we’re learning the most about ourselves.”

The band also discussed their move to Mom+Pop.

“Michael Goldstone signed us to Sire/Warner in 2006,” they explain. “We had just made The Con and felt like the vision Goldie and the team at Sire had for us and the album were a good fit. But soon after he signed us, he left to start Mom+Pop. We never held it against him. But joked that one day we’d work together for real. So it was with great enthusiasm that we agreed to sign to Mom+Pop when our deal with Warner ended in 2021. We look forward to being back at an indie label, on a brilliant roster, with Goldie and the label’s incredible team helping us start this next chapter in our lives with the release of our 10th album.”
