Of the song, Passenger says, “‘A Song for the Drunk and Broken Hearted’ is exactly what it says it is. I love to think that this whole album is for people going through that extraordinarily weird and difficult time just after a relationship ends, when you feel sad and weird and drink too much. I’ve certainly been there a couple of times.”
The majority of Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted was written when Rosenberg was newly single. “Coming out of a break-up creates such a fragile window,” he reflects. “You’re incredibly vulnerable for a few months. You’re so used to the safety of being with somebody and suddenly you’re out in the world on your own. And you get pissed and probably make some bad decisions. In some ways, you make it worse for yourself. But it’s a heady moment, losing love and being drunk. And it’s universal. Everyone goes through it at some stage.”
