The song humorousIy laments the tribulations of a modern bachelor dealing with contemporary romantic relationships. It critiques how romance has changed in the digital age, highlighting social media practices like Photoshop touch-ups on Facebook, constant messaging on Skype and WhatsApp, expensive fast food demands, and modern lifestyle choices.
