Speaking about the song, Olivia Penalva said,
Assembly Required' has always been one of my favorite songs. It’s about those first moments of falling in love when the person you’re with really gets to see you, even the parts of yourself you’ve shielded away. It’s letting them know that they are welcome to love you but they should know that you come a little broken and in need of repair. To me, this song sums up the baggage we all carry from our past hurt and traumas. The stuff we shove so far into the box hoping that nobody sees it. But sometimes it just takes that one special person to come along and help you sort through that box. We all come a little broken and sometimes we need a little help in being fixed. Sometimes it’s as easy as falling in love, and that's why I wrote this song.
