Composition

The "woozy, laidback" [1] song is about a man who is infatuated with a girl. [2] Halfway through, the song flips itself and plays in reverse. [3]

Critical reception

Debbie Ijaduola of Clash said, "With heavy indie influences with a speckle of R&B, if anyone was still questioning who Steve Lacy was, this serves as a substantial example of Steve's signature style." [4] Molly Dolan of Audacy said, "This simple and sweet song features Lacy's best qualities: his ability to write catchy lyrics over a bouncy guitar line." [5]

Michele Johnson of Classic Rock History rated it as Lacy's fourth best song. [2]

Live performances

Lacy performed the song live during his Give You the World Tour at Marathon Music Works on October 21, 2022. [6]

The song is featured in the 2025 video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 . [7]
