Background
The song was originally recorded in 2019. When speaking to NME just prior to the track's release, Fender explained that its lyrics look "at how [my] insecurity tore apart my relationships, and my last relationship in particular." He continued: “I think it’s one of those records that’s kinda like a slow burner, but it’s a monster.”[1]
Music video
The song's music video was released on 22 October 2021. Directed by Hector Dockrill, Fender plays the main role, with actress Monica Armario playing Fender's love interest. The video is set at a racetrack, and as Rolling Stone explains, it opens to "scenes set in a caravan, the visuals show Fender riding around the racetrack and arguing with [Armario] in the car, before getting injured in an accident."[2]
The following year it was nominated for 'Best Colour Grading in a Video' at the 2022 UK Music Video Awards,[3] although it ultimately lost to "Point and Kill" by Little Simz featuring Obongjayar.[4]
