Background
editAccording to a press release, Illenium said: "I really love how this song turned out, I heard the demo a long time ago, and it always really stuck with me. We started working together a few months later, and they played the idea for me again. I was really stoked I was able to be a part of the record with such amazing people. Working on the song felt natural, and I couldn't have asked for a better duo to work with on it."
And Bahari said in a joint statement: "This song is so close to our hearts. It's been one of our favorite songs we've ever made, and we have been waiting for the perfect time to put it out. Illenium really captured the emotion of what we were trying to portray with the lyrics. We couldn't have dreamed of a better collaboration for this song."[3]
