Background

In talking about their song, German DJ Topic and Swedish singer A7S revealed that it's the "sweet spot between a heartache and energetic beats".[3] According to Topic, the song "is about a situation in a relationship with a certain dependency, in which one always gives a little more and "breaks" because of that". The song was written during songwriting sessions in Berlin and Miami over the course of two months.[4]

He also noted how much A7S's vocals "match a bouncy bass line and clubby synths".[5] Critics also cited the fact that despite A7S' anonymity, the song all the more benefits from the hook sung by the Swedish artist.[6]
