The song features new elements to the Narrative's music, synths and texture. The band discussed the concept of the song, premiered at American Songwriter website, saying "Chasing a Feeling’ is about accepting that life keeps moving forward, whether or not you’re ready for it. Being indecisive doesn’t stop everything around you from changing, and getting swept up in a really difficult moment in your life can feel endless but eventually it passes. It’s about time, how you spend it, and how it eventually brings you clarity and comfort" For the cover of "Chasing a Feeling" was used an polaroid picture taken by Vicky Dinka at the tower of the fireplace and in the background the chandelier at the barn where the album, featuring the song, was recorded in 2012.
