Scottish group Chvrches,who collaborated with Marshmello on his previous single "Here with Me",posted an unexpected statement to social media on April 25,saying that while they "like and respect [Marshmello] as a person",they were "really upset,confused and disappointed" by his decision to work with Tyga and Chris Brown,as "working with people who are predators and abusers enables,excuses and ultimately tacitly endorses that behaviour".

Brown responded by calling Chvrches a "bunch of losers" in the comments section of an Instagram post by the band.
