Speaking about the track – which follows on from lead single ‘Something’s Going On’. Speaking about the single, the group said:
“We were imagining playing live with this one – it’s definitely written with that energy we get towards the end of a set. Some shows, like La Cigalle in Paris or Paradiso in Dam have legit felt magical for us and you always want to give that energy back. This is us trying to do that.”
