 Verse two, similarly, references 1980s pop culture, such as the Rubik's Cube, black Pontiac Trans Ams and MTV.The second chorus also begins with "It was 1980-somethin'".In the song's bridge, the singer then expresses his desire to escape to his childhood years (""Now I've got a mortgage and an SUV / All this responsibility makes me wish sometimes / That it was 1980-somethin’"").
