The Justice duo wrote the entire song before enlisting vocalist M Yaman to sing it. Xavier de Rosnay recalled to Fact Magazine: "We wondered for a while, is it okay to make 'season' rhyme with 'reason'? Isn't it a bit, like, bad? Of course we tried other possibilities to see if we could make it better, but the simplicity is what was important to us, so we kept it that way."

The video was directed by Pascal Teixeira, who also conceived the artwork for Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix and Bankrupt! albums. The clip shows the French duo and Thelma & Louise actress Susan Sarandon taking a ride through the desert in a convertible. Teixeira said:

"On a hot summer afternoon, Gaspard and I are in Xavier's kitchen, collectively daydreaming about washing a car. The year we like for car design, the make, where that could take place, how much soap, the mood, the sun, and there should be a woman to go cruising with, an iconic mix of cool, allure and strength – Susan Sarandon of course!

"And then a couple months later we're in the desert, with the car and a lot of soap, and by some weird miracle there she is, even more amazing than we had fantasised her to be, ready to go for a drive."
