PARTYNEXTDOOR's song "Break from Toronto" is an ode to the "Sauga," the nickname for his hometown of Mississauga in Ontario, Canada. The lyrics are about partying, being carefree, and letting loose. In the chorus, he acknowledges that sometimes you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, from going out to the strip club and getting caught up in the madness. The smile on a girl's face and her trustworthiness make it easy for him to let go and have a good time without worrying about drama. The repetitive "those in" phrase is thought to be a reference to people who are familiar with the party lifestyle in Sauga, which he is inviting the listener to join.
