Speaking on the track,Alok stated:"I'm super excited to be collaborating with Alan on our first original collaboration and this time on my Controversia imprint makes it feel all the more special! We worked together to bring our signature sounds into the fold for our fans and having KIDDO's unique vocal also on this release added something so distinctive and fresh." [2]
Speaking on the release,Walker said:"This is the first time around working on a project with Alok,and I couldn't be happier to be collaborating. Being able to create music alongside other DJs and talented singers like Kiddo,who's unique voice perfectly fit this track,is always a pleasure. It has truly been a fun process combining our styles into this song and I can't wait to continue experimenting!" [2]
Nick of EDM Sauce says,"The palatial intro beat captivates with its toe-tapping synth-line melody,then the militant-style drums call for attention and the pulsating tempo pushes the listener onward,while KIDDO's far reaching,deep vocal tone adds richness and complex dexterity. The presence of each artist adds richness and intricate dexterity,creating a stunning production that evolves with each listen. [3]
EDM Honey's Jake Williams writes,"This track is a breath of fresh new air,blending the unique sounds of Alok and Alan Walker. Both are known as melodic masters,and this is even more evident on this track,which is further elevated by Kiddo's vocals. Fun and fresh,the song packs a punch with its energy and sizzling synths,creating the ultimate party anthem overall." stated. [4]
Ale Mancinelli of EDM Lab says,"The result is a true 50-50 kind of thing. In fact,the Anglo-Norwegian's poetic synth lines and Alok's bass are in perfect harmony. It gets better with the addition of vocalists like the Swede Kiddo. [5]
