"Like everyone else this year, I am just in continual 'shaking my head' mode," says Keskeys. "You couldn't write a script with more twists and turns. As the year has worn on, so have our nerves. Sometimes we just have to laugh. And I think that's where I was when I thought up the idea." 

There wasn't a shortage of material to write about, as there are so many events that stand out as being synonymous with 2020. 

"I know first hand that this year has been very cruel to many," says Keskeys. "My own dear mother has gone through so much from a broken back from a fall, to surgery, to a cancer diagnosis and radiation treatment. All without our being able to visit her in person for many months. We weren't even allowed to be at the hospital for her surgeries. But I always make a point to call her every day on FaceTime and we often find ourselves laughing at just the ridiculousness of the whole year. It's a release and it helps us stay hopeful. And I believe that is how people stay well. And that is all I wanted to do with this song. Just bring a little bit of lightheartedness to the year as it comes to an end."  

Adds Keskeys, "Writing and recording this song was like therapy for me. I love to laugh. And I love the idea of us as a country being able to giggle as we send 2020 off into history."
