Background

Talking with Declan McDaniels from Beatportal, Florent Hugel and Tobias Topic discussed the creative process behind the song.[3] Topic said that the basic structure was created in a music session between him, Alexander Tidebrink, Arash Labaf and Daecolm Holland, with the latter also contributing with the lyrical content. Then Hugel who listened a "very pop" version of the song via a close friend, reworked and finished the production.[4]

Hugel stated that the artwork for the single was inspired by the visual aesthetics of American rapper XXXTENTACION.[5]
