Songfacts®:

  • Vocalist Ed Macfarlane told the story of the song to NME: "The beat is based on a Flying Lotus drumbeat… I'm a big fan. We were listening to New Kids On The Rock, Backstreet Boys, Nsync. Especially NKOTB - that album was done on 808s, 909s, that's the core of the record. This track has a definite hip hop edge, but from a boy band perspective."
