Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed-to-positive review stating:

"While our idea of reclaiming our youth involves Sabrina The Teenage Witch marathons, Example is feeling rather more adventurous. "We'll see wherever we wanna see/ Run away from home, they'll never reach us," he declares, leading his missus on an adrenaline-fuelled jaunt across the globe, soundtracked by his trademark mix of stomping club beats and Ibiza-ready synths. Yes, Example is re-treading previous territory with his brand of lad EDM, but it's hard not to be charmed by his new perkier outlook on life." [1]

Music video

Example uploaded the music video to his VEVO channel on 12 February. Example filmed the music video on location in Miami at the beginning of February with several of his fans raving to the music. The video was directed by Jon Jon Augustavo. It has since gathered over 2,800,000 views. On 3 March, the video for the MOTi remix was uploaded to Example's VEVO Channel. The video for the MOTi remix has gathered over 220,000 views.
