Described as "a solo effort and an instrumental built from bold beats and bright, colorful synth melodies," the song is musically compared to previous Garrix singles such as "Forbidden Voices" and "Oops". [1] Released few days before Garrix's third appearance at the Amsterdam Dance Event, the song's synth melody is noted as "vaguely melancholic" and "ballad of the bunch", a reference to its inclusion the Bylaw EP. [2] Originally dubbed by fans as "Chinatown", the song is described as "unimaginably happy and upbeat." [3]

In the music video, written and directed by Damian Karsznia, an adventure by the protagonist, whose "physical form is absent for most of the video" but is represented by an avatar, into the human brain is shown. He attempts to achieve his ultimate goal by going through various simulated environments. [5]
Billboard described it as a "deep dive into the human brain, which is a lot like a computer...a psychedelic wonderland where tiny humans run around on gridded surfaces between towering heads. It's still got that old-school cybernetic aesthetic, it's just been internalized." [1] Production of the music video is credited to Joris Hoevenberg and Alex Rijkschroeff as executives with assistant producers Petra Courtz, Shenelva Booij. Ihor Bliusovych, the main model, has appeared in all of the videos for singles in Bylaw. [lower-alpha 1]
