Songfacts®:

  • London-based production duo Tough Love earned a major-label deal with Get Twisted/Island Records in late 2014, following a string of stand out remixes for such hit tunes as Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass and Clean Bandit's "Real Love."

    This house tune was their first original material to be dropped. Premiered by BBC Radio 1's dance music tastemaker Annie Mac, it rocketed into the Top 20 of the UK singles chart, following its release on March 16, 2015.
  • The song is based around a chopped up sample of Jodeci's 1995 hit "Freak'n You."
