Per Folds, "'Landed' is about a friend of mine who was in a bad relationship. I just wrote a song about it."[3] String arranger Paul Buckmaster had done arrangement, but Folds left it out on the initial release. Said Folds, "he'd weighed in strong, almost intrusively I thought. [...] I regretted it before it hit the stores and made sure all subsequent versions of the song were released with strings."[4]
