Blowing Up is inspired by Cipher’s real life experiences, particularly in relationships. Throughout the song, he realizes distractions, such as his phone, pull away from the real meaningful experiences and connections that are the core of those relationships. This reflects a daily struggle that almost everyone has faced between commitments and obligations and quality time with loved ones. Cipher’s growth and development into a balanced lifestyle through the lyrics of this song speaks with his audience on a real level of everyday life.
