The song peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and No. 28 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart in January 2011. Glenn was writing the song to sound like a 1980s throwback, "Obviously the song can't hide from the '80s thing, but really that song is more about return to innocence in love and in relationships. I thought the lo-fi VHS tape look was clever."Songfacts 1983 by Neon Trees - Songfacts https://www.songfacts.com/facts/neon-trees/1983 2022-12-28 www.songfacts.com en The song itself got its title from the year Glenn was born.
