Background

Josh Lloyd said the track was written about a fictional place where one grew up and has "fond memories" of: "74 is a fictitious thing, but for us it's like 74th Avenue or 74th Street or something, where, in your imagination or as a kid, you were playing out on the street. You've gone back to this place and it's giving you this really nostalgic feeling but everything's not quite the same." [4]

Music video

An interactive video for the song directed by Josh Lloyd and Charlie Di Placido [1] was released in July 2023, [5] which was released in standard form on YouTube the following month. The video was choreographed by the Dutch dancer Shay Latukolan. [6]
