Justin Naylor originally wrote the song in 2022 a few months after a breakup. At a crossroad in his life, Justin decided to quit his job in mortgages to pursue music full time. "There's got to be more than sitting on an empty floor of the week" outlines what he was feeling at the time, unsure of what direction he wanted his life to take and feeling burned out by previous relationships. The idea for the song plays on the idea of "what goes around, comes around". The original concept was "Karma is a bitch" but was later changed to "Karma is a Snitch".                                                                                                                         

The heavy guitars in the song, mixed with the indie rock/pop style vocals showcases Justin’s sound as a guitarist for the first time. Heavily inspired by bands like Third Eye Blind, The Killers, and Catfish and the Bottlemen, Justin wanted to make the kind of music he listened to growing up, but with his own unique sound.
