Bazzi recorded the initial ideas for the song in a few voice memos that were dated July 5, 2017.[9] One contained him whistling the opening notes of the song, another contained him beatboxing, and another contained him singing the lyrics “I'm so fucking happy you're alive” which ended up being used in the final song.[9]
The song became an internet meme after gaining popularity in late January 2018.[3][10] The videos featured a slideshow of different pictures of the subject of the video with the Snapchat "hearts" filter and overlaying lyrics. The last word of each song line was surrounded by different "heart" and "kiss" emojis.[11]
