The song finds Stryder rapping about success and fame, whilst singer-songwriter Camille Purcell croons on the hook, "I've come this far, I do this so hard, and what is it all for? So I call to You, it's all I can do, You know that I need Your love right now." It was penned by the duo along with Ollie Jacobs of London Electro Pop group Arkana.
