Trivia

 * This is the first song that Amethyst sings in an episode, as well as her first duet.
 * This does not include Amethyst's one phrase solo in Steven and the Crystal Gems in "Steven and the Stevens".
 * This is the fourth song that is not set in Beach City.
 * The first is Serious Song in "Serious Steven";
 * The second is Giant Woman in "Giant Woman";
 * The third is Be Wherever You Are in "Island Adventure".
 * This is the third time Steven does a duet with someone.
 * The first duet was "Strong in the Real Way" with Pearl in "Coach Steven." The second duet was "Dear Old Dad" with Greg in "House Guest".
 * According to Jeff Liu, he "originally wrote the song in D major, but had to adjust it to B-flat major to fit both Steven and Amethyst’s voice actors’ ranges".
 * When Amethyst and Steven sing, "But home's a place that I have never known". It may be a reference to the Gem Homeworld, since they are the only Crystal Gems that never seen or visited home world.
 * Steven singing, "But home's a place that I have never known," could just be him acting like the No Home Boys as it's shown multiple times throughout the series that he very much considers Beach City his home.
