The song  was inspired by their experience during the recording, when writing the album the songwriters kept taking breaks because they were stuck on one of the albums tracks "were writing and kept taking breaks to go outside because we were getting a little stuck on a song we were already working on. It was so beautiful outside that we had a hard time focusing, so we decided to write a song about taking breaks! 'Smoke Break' seemed like a great title, so we ran with it!"
