Background

Lauv met Anne-Marie after they both performed at the Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium, London, and called the lyrics "pretty self-explanatory" as well as about "missing someone you used to hook up with" and his "least deep and mysterious song". [4] He made the beat on his laptop in an hour while at an airport, and said the title of the song "came out of nowhere" in a conversation with his friends. Anne-Marie said "I never really like admitting that I miss someone after a break up. So here's a song that does it for me." [5]

Music video

The music video, released on August 21, 2019, features both singers among other people at an apartment thinking about what to do for the night. They meet whilst shopping in a supermarket.

Critical reception

Clash called the song "brutally honest but ultra-infectious" and elaborated that Lauv has "the ability to make the bleakest emotions seem beautiful" as well as a "consistent dichotomy running through his work". [5] i-D felt that the track is "both dangerously catchy and sort of sad when you think about it", describing it a song that "forces you to have a 4am, Sunday morning epiphany as you melt into the sofa at an afterparty". [4] MTV wrote the song is "Sonically and thematically, [...] right in line with Lauv's other recent singles [...] Over a quirky combination of synths, he and Anne-Marie ruminate on their exes and wallow in their loneliness". [3]
