Background
editMoskaluke originally wrote the track as a solo song, but felt it could be a duet. She felt she did not know who could deliver the energy she wanted on the song until she was introduced to Travis Collins on a promotional trip to Australia. She said once she heard "his incredible voice", she knew she wanted him to feature on the song. Collins said he "loved this song before the first chorus even hit my ears" and he knew he wanted to be part of it.[3]
