I Dare You

Story Behind The Song

One day Shaun Verreault joined us for a writing session, bringing a snippet of the song "I Dare You" and we all decided to work on that. The melody and sentiment of the song stole my heart right away. To me, it's about the final moment before a breakup; that one last time when someone pleads with his or her loved one to stand up and be strong enough to love. It takes a lot of guts to give yourself completely to someone and this song is about challenging someone to do that.
