This song’s focus on homemaking and the necessity of coming back home reminded me of Miu’s insistence she move back to Jamaica as well as Pao’s deep feeling that Karl and Miu should remain with him. This stanza is particularly emblematic of this: “‘Cause now, after it all, I’m just standing here to call/ My dad, my dad I feel so broke up, I wanna go home/ No, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home.”
