Background

On 18 August 2017, Kygo debuted the title track at Jugendfest 2017, after which he posted two short clips of the performance to his Instagram Stories. [3] On 1 September 2017, he performed the song with live vocals from Jesso at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas. [4] [5] On 6 September 2017, Kygo revealed on Instagram that "new music coming very soon". [6] He officially announced the EP's release date and revealed its accompanying artwork on 18 September 2017. [7] [8] [9]

Critical reception

Kat Bein of Billboard opined that Kygo "uses chopped vocal samples and glistening synthetic piano to create a tropical melody" instead of "his usual steel drums", and that "the kick drum hits hard on every other count, pushing the tune forward on the dance floor in a laidback way" on the title track. [10] Karlie Powell of Your EDM felt the title track "takes on a whole new audible meaning as the producer's newest track dives into the touchy, feely realm of dance music he's known for". [11]
