Background

After finishing sessions one night, Social House was hanging out and had a few drinks with their friends Anton Göransson and Isabella Sjöstrand. They ended up writing a song that made them feel happy at the moment (which would become "Magic in the Hamptons"). The vocals were recorded in their bedroom closet. Their A&R found the song similar in style to that of Lil Yachty's music, so he sent it to record producer Coach K, who showed it to the rapper. Yachty quickly recorded and sent his verse to Social House.[2][3] Neither member of the duo had been to the Hamptons before writing the song.[1][3]

In an interview with The Prelude Press, Mikey Foster said the song is "about real love that can stand the test of time and make you feel young again." Scootie Anderson added, "It's an ode to real love. It's about a couple being so in love that they feel young again. It's about puppy love, the honeymoon phase in a relationship that never dies."[4]
