“I was staying at my sister's house in Lancaster and I had this dream about the name Josephine being whispered in my ear. I thought I didn't know anyone called Josephine until the song was finished when my friend Jo, or Josie, went 'Um, hello?'…”
— NME: PSFNP track-by-track standouts, 2015
“There's another song on the new record called Josephine, which very much started as a collation of fragments. They all had the same core feeling, but I couldn't figure out what that feeling was.”
— Songwriting Magazine: Interview Frank Turner, 2015
“It's a song about the search of the elusive perfect other, if he or she even exists, … and it's also my favorite set of lyrics on the new album.”

“began as a collection of different pieces. … Sooner or later you had a song, so there was definitely something that made me put those fragments together.”
