Background, composition and critical reception

The song was written by Lauv himself along songwriter Jesse St. John. About the meaning of the song and the development of its meaning on the music video, Lauv commented in an interview with Bravo: "This song is about surrendering and embracing a light on imperfections, struggles, and madness in a relationship... reality is going to break through walls and not always to reveal so brilliant reality - that is exactly what we have done in the music video." [2] Mike Wass from Idolator gave a positive review, calling the song "a wavy bop about the temporary insanity otherwise known as love." [3]
