This story was told in explanation to his song Annie.
A while back Mac, Kiera and a band mate of his used to live together.

I assume afterwards he wrote the song about her or maybe it was years after the incident but Mac did admit that while telling the story he'd decided that the song Annie was about her in the moment, even though he previously wasn't sure.
