Shark described the song "[it] is about that moment in the beginning stages of meeting someone when your mind runs away from you and you let the butterflies in your stomach take over. It's about letting your guard down, looking a little pathetic and giving in to vulnerability."[4] An acoustic version was released on 28 July 2023.[2]

On 30 July 2023, Shark performed the song live at the Logie Awards of 2023[5] and an acoustic version the following day on Sunrise at the Logies Awards after party.[6] At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, it was nominated for Best Pop Release and Best Video (directed by Mitch Green).[5][7]

Music video

The Mitch Green-directed music video was filmed in Sydney on a Google Pixel 7 Pro phone and stars Shark with Lucinda Price and Harry Holland.[4][5]

Reception

Mary Varvaris from The Music called it a "pop song that’s destined to get in listeners' heads with a hooky pre-chorus and chorus and somehow fits a bridge into its short runtime."[8] Rolling Stone Australia's Poppy Reid declared it is "a welcome injection of turbo-pop" saying, "the single hits different when compared to [Shark]'s musical canon. It's syrupy-pop with an edge; steeped in sticky Len-like brightness with a Cure-esuqe, crisp and danceable guitar line."[4]
