Sam penned this song when he was 19, he has since fallen out of love with it slightly as he admitted in a backstage interview after his Shepherd’s Bush gig (2/5/19).
He has further clarified to poppedmusic that songs
like, Hypersonic Missiles, The Borders, White Privilege, You’re Not The Only One, (…) are where I think I’m at sonically in my head. Whereas the songs like Call Me Lover, for instance, are very embryonic, (…) It’s kind of not what I’m about now but it’s a good song nonetheless.”
Describing the song as poppy, Fender went on to tell that
it’s genuinely a song about infidelity and being 19. Loosely based on this lass who was married, and she got out of it and started knocking around with a young’ un. And that’s it, simple as that.
