Background

After a chance meeting of the songwriter and the DJ duo, who were still performing locally as "Hugo & Jimmy" and looking to release original works, the pair sent Giselle an instrumental track. Rosselli describes in a joint interview with Hugo and James, "I had thought up the main line of the song, “Why can’t you want me like the other boys do, they stare at me while I stare at you,” and had scribbled it down. It so followed that when the guys sent me one of their new loops they had been working on, the lyric happened to fit perfectly to the mood of the track and the melody just followed suit." [2]

Composition

The song was composed using 4
