Brooklyn based musician Ryan Gross looks at previous versions of himself on the new single by his Skinny Dippers project. Past Selves is mainly about commitment issues, when his friends (or a fire) were holding him back when a girl wanted to move in with him. He wonders if that sort of carefree attituede is still inside of him, a sense of melancholy clashing with the sunny side up pop music: "Well it started on a Sunday // You had gone out for some brunch // And before you even knew it // You'd become a cocktail sponge // You had told her that you'd help her // Yeah, you were going to help her move // But your friends said once you're in that deep // There's really nothing you can do".
