The song premiered on triple j with McMahon saying, "I wrote it a while back thinking about diving into this music career thing and having the confidence to do that amidst all my insecurities - feeling like everyone was a better musician than me. This song is about pushing that stuff aside... Like, 'you can do this, you know how to play music, just get over yourself and do it!'"."[1]

The music video was released in March 2019.[2]

Reception

Triple J said "Built upon an openly inviting chord pattern and a rough strut, Angie's voice is plump with feeling yet glides in satin-smooth phrases."[1]
