Background

edit

In a press release, X Ambassadors stated:[4]

I've always had an affinity for big-ass love songs but don't often end up writing them. This one came together so organically and quickly—it was such a treat to write it with Kash, Nick, Whethan, and Kyrre. I honestly couldn’t be more excited to sing it at all my friend’s weddings.
