Background

On 12 January 2023, Harris posted a picture of him and Goulding together in a recording studio.[1] On 5 February, the former shared a clip of editing Goulding's harmonies on the song.[2] Goulding first performed parts of the song acapella inside St Bartholomew-the-Great which was uploaded on TikTok by both artists.[3]

The song is their first collaboration in nearly ten years.[4] According to Harris, creating the song took him back to his early producing days in the late 1990s, having taken "bits from that" and putting it "in a new context". He chose Goulding as the vocalist, citing her "angelic voice" and calling her the only one capable to deliver the vocals on the song.[5]

Composition

Described as a trance song,[6] it sees the duo returning to "the trance rave heyday", featuring a "throbbing, Eurodance drum beat"[7] combined with "ethereal piano and glittering synths" on the production.[5] Katie Bain of Billboard thought the track was reminiscent of "Children" (1995) by Robert Miles.[6] The song's composition, inspired by 1990s electronic music, was notably different to their previous collaborations.[8]
