Background

edit

In an interview with Mike Wass from Idolator, James said he wrote the song in two or three hours in 2014, however, the song took weeks to produce. He first played the song to Rüfüs and asked for their opinion. He said it is his voice in the chorus and a blend of his and George Maple's in the verses. James added "It made sense to me to write a song and not a dance track. I'm way more into soulful stuff. I'm actually making a song and I can get other people to remix it into something crazy if they want."[6]

Music video

The official music video was released on 27 May 2015.[7]
