Background

Benoit was writing a post on Twitter when he realized he could turn the words he had written into the opening line of a song.[3] He wrote the song by himself at home in Newfoundland. Benoit remarked that the process from writing the tweet to recording the full track took approximately eight months as both Sony Music Canada and his manager believed it would be a great follow-up to his previous single "Crazy Kinda Love".[3]
