Speaking to Beats 1's Zane, Lowe Hoppus[clarification needed] said he met Shark in Los Angeles and she asked him to work on something together, to which he agreed.[3] Hoppus said “Amy had this great idea for a song and for me it was a lot easier than working with a lot of other artist because her music is so sparse. A lot of times it's just her and a guitar, so even just her an acoustic guitar and maybe a beat behind it. My job was really easy, I just had to not over add stuff to kill the idea that she already had.”[4]
Reception
editMadelyn Tait from The Music Au, in an album review, called the song the album highlight, saying "The stripped-back, mostly acoustic duet is sweet and has a slight pop-punk feel, and their voices nicely complement each other as they sing about love over fingerpicked, intertwining guitars and crashing drums."[5]
Cameron Adams from Herald Sun, in an album review, said the song "builds to a classy crescendo."[6]
