The song feels like a lived experience with lyrics like, “And sometimes I feel alone / And sometimes I call these people my home / In a van in a parking lot ”, which shows how, no matter where one is, there are elements of the world around you that make you feel at home. Even when trying to explore new places, Friko shows how it can still be lonely: “Trying not to look away when I'm in a rut / But New York to LA isn't long enough,” as distance cannot always offer an easy solution when trying to run away from problems.
With a music video also released, ‘Choo Choo’ highlights the daily movement across the city of Chicago. In doing so, the song suggests that home is often built from combining small things into one, shaping what one can call home.
