The story of this song is about a relationship that went wrong and there are a lot of wishes that things could be fixed and the lovers to be able to overcome their problems but things have gone too far, “they hit a wall and cant get over it”. The song is touchy and quite deep.

The song received positive reviews and was highly applauded for its instrumentation. “Hanging By A Moment” won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 single of the year is one of the most uptempo and radio-friendly songs that the band has ever done.
