Speaking of the track to Clash, Cara noted, "This was the first song I'd ever heard by Cigarettes After Sex; lyrically this song is so vivid and nostalgic in all the right ways, something I definitely admire about their work in general. My frequent collaborator Bram Inscore and I got to try our hand at making our own version of it and I think the lyric is painted a little differently with a female voice on it, yet the softness remains. Super versatile wording is the mark of great writing. "

The song was produced by Bram Inscore who who co-wrote/produced half of the last Troye Sivan record and whose other accolades include Bipolar Sunshine, Twin Shadow, Hayley Kiyoko, Jr Jr, Mayor Hawthorne and many more.
