When that friendship is threatened, there’s a lot of insecurity,” said Moore. Johnston added: “We can all relate to that feeling. But the song tells us we’re not alone. They nailed the theme of the movie in a way that also makes you want to dance.” The song is a dichotomy in some ways, with sometimes heavy lyrics over pretty upbeat instrumentation, shared Reynolds. “The result is a tone that is somewhat bittersweet, which felt appropriate given the complexity of Ralph as a character,” he added.
