Background
The song was originally written in response to Salem's boyfriend and roommate being video game fanatics,and as soon as they moved to LA,they bought a PlayStation and Salem had a hard time keeping their attention and "Who do you take,me or PS5?" was the expression that came to mind,and she began to produce it. However,Salem felt that the song "still lacked something," so she approached Walker and TXT,her collaborators from 2021,to complete the piece. Salem says,"Now that I have a great song,I am grateful to Playstation [sic] for the opportunity." [2]
Yeonjun and Taehyun also commented:"We're very lucky to have the opportunity to sing in multiple languages,and we're always excited to take on new challenges. Salem created an irresistibly ear-catching,addictive song and it's certain a lot of us will be playing the song on repeat." [3]
