The song was written by Brian McFadden,Stuart Crichton and Tommy Lee James,with Delta Goodrem. It was produced by Crichton and Marius de Vries.

The song is a perky reggae sing along song. Seen in reception. [1]
The song was well received for its upbeat perky music and reggae vibe. It is called a "frolicking reggae finger-snapper","a sense of fun in her music" and "follows through with everything from the fun electronica/reggae" [4] [5] [6]
