Trivia

 * This song's title might be a reference to a song by the same name, sung by "Boy Hits Car."
 * This is the first song in which every contestant still competing has a solo.
 * This is the third song sung during a dangerous situation, the first being Lovin' Time and the second being Rowin' Time.
 * Coincidentally, all three of those songs were sung in a row between two episodes.
 * The part of the song where the cast lists what they'd like to do before they died shares a similar melody and theme with the song | La Vie Bohème from the historic Broadway musical | RENT, only that instead of listing death wishes, the cast of RENT lists marginal activities and people.
 * This is the third song in the season so to feature every contestant in the game at the time have a part.
 * During the song, the characters hold hands with each other but when it pans out, it appears that the order is changed because of the rapid jumping of the camera from contestant to contestant, though it is not.
 * When panned out, each character only appears once, according to their last appearance.
 * Cody, Bridgette, and Harold are the only people to not name something they hope Chris is giving them to avoid them from falling to their suggested doom.
 * At the end, when Owen yells "Yeah!", his voice is different, similar to his voice actor's real voice.

 * Noah, Izzy, and Heather are the only ones who don't mention something they would like to do before they die.
 * DJ and Bridgette are currently the only ones to accomplish what they want to do before they die. Sierra has technically accomplished her goal, but it's legality is questionable as of Niagara Brawls.
 * This is the first song to have an equal number of singers from each team.
 * Harold is shown to be quite flexible in the song as he was able to bend his legs up to his head without much visual difficulty or physicals signs of pain.
 * Gwen's mention of "a rift in time" in mid-air could be a reference to Stephen King's novel, The Langoliers.
 * The concept of the performance is similar to the closing scene of The Great Muppet Caper, where the plane dumps everyone off in mid-air and the entire cast ends up singing the closing number while descending to the ground.

Goofs

 * There is also a closed-captioning goof. When Alejandro says "Rocket boots", the closed captions say that Tyler says it.
 * Alejandro was holding Sierra's and Bridgette's hands initially but reappears holding Izzy's and Lindsay's hands.
 * Lindsay appears on both sides of LeShawna.
 * Although it was probably done on purpose as a gag, as LeShawna looked surprised.
 * When the contestants sing "Cept there's tons we wanna do", the closed captions say, "stuff and stunts to do".
 * When the contestants are holding hands, Alejandro's hair is flying to the side despite the fact that they are falling downward.
