The Providence-based pop-punkers had this to say on their writing process:
“We started the writing process for “Friendly Neighborhood Nightmare” with the intent to really hone our ability to write anthem pop rock songs. Up until that point, we had focused our writing efforts on a heavier, rougher style. But with the development of “Friendly Neighborhood,” we realized our greatest strength as songwriters was the ability to write songs with a catchy, flowing chorus, while still retaining the dark, tongue-in-cheek lyrical style we had adapted. The bouncy tempo, memorable theme and unstoppable chorus are just some of the elements that make this song one of our strongest, and one that’s sure to stick in the heads of everyone who hears it.”
