In an interview with EDM.com, Vassy said that the inspiration for the track was drawn from her mantra of inspiring fans to break through all obstacles that are thrown in their way: "I wanted to create a dark and moody anthemic ballad about facing our inner demons. To inspire listeners to get through the struggle whatever it is. You're standing on the edge for dear life, but you're finding a way to keep going." [1]

The track became Vassy's fifth number one single, and the second for Lodato, in the United States on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart, reaching the summit in its October 6, 2018 issue. [2]
