According to a press release, the song, which was co-written and produced by David Sitek is “the surprising first taste of what’s to come from the band in 2025”.

"His name seemed to be on a lot of records that we liked,” lead singer Skin explained of the producer. “But none of the records sounded the same. The records all sounded fresh, but mainly the artists all sounded like themselves."
