This riff appeared in my head abruptly and I felt the need to record it so I would have it for future material. Initially, this was a 20 second demo where the synth bass was merely a placeholder, but it grew on me and the people I shared it with, so I keep it as I developed the song further.

I feel that the song has a frantic energy to it, and I'll admit, it's partly because I just like how "Racing The Clock" sounds as a song name, so that's the story behind the title.
