Tsai says that the song was written about a friend of his who was imprisoned for being in a criminal gang. The friend had applied for leave from prison to visit his sick grandmother. When he was refused, he escaped from jail. When he was discovered and reincarcerated, his sentence was raised from five to 12 years.
蔡振南表示，這首歌寫的是他的一個朋友，因混流氓被關入監牢，為申請出獄探看祖母生病未果而越獄，卻被發現，刑罰從五年判成十二年。
