Background

Jones first introduced the song at the Brooklyn nightclub "Elsewhere" on 20 April 2019. The song was then described as "characteristically bass-heavy" and "uptempo".^[2] During an interview on 23 January 2020, Raye revealed that the song would be out soon and that it is the "only other record" her and Jones had written together.^[3] On 4 February 2020, Jones posted a clip of himself preparing a meal in the kitchen with a snippet of the song playing as he opens a pot.^[4] He went on to post a clip of the trio at the video set in front of a green screen.^[5]

Cover art

The cover was revealed on 17 February 2020 and shows a red BMW E30 M3 with stereotypical Mexican illustrations in the background.^[6]
