Songfacts®:

  • Victor Rådström is Stockholm-based producer Victor Rådström, who records under the name of Neiked. This song is his debut chart entry.
  • The song features the vocal collaboration of English singer Dyo, who was previously known as Ms D. Under her old stage name, the songstress had singing parts on UK chart-toppers by Chipmunk ("Oopsy Daisy") and Wiley ("Heatwave.") The then-Ms D was also credited as a songwriter and backing vocalist for Iggy Azalea's 2013 single "Bounce."
  • Dyo admitted to the BBC that she "wasn't in a sexual mood" when she wrote the lyrics. "I was actually freezing cold in Sweden and I thought, 'I need to write something that's going to make me feel good right now, and make everyone else happy,'" she said.

    Dyo added: "I remember me and Neiked were going back and forth on the lyrics and I was like, 'Should I say 'sexual'? Is that a bit out there? Should it be something else?' And he was very relaxed about the whole thing,. He said, 'Go with that. Everybody loves sex.' He didn't bat an eyelid."
