Background

The song was originally written by Blunt for his album The Afterlove but did not make the final cut.[8] Blunt told Sodajerker, a podcast about songwriting, that the record company thought the song was a hit, but that he himself did not think he "nailed it" and refused to release it. Later he met his friend Schulz, who, to Blunt's surprise, had heard the unreleased song and had been "fucking with it". Blunt said that the dj had "added the Robin Schulz magic", and admitted that the record company had been right about the song's potential.[9]

The song was performed by Schulz for an audience of 8,500 fans at the König Pilsener Arena.[10]

Music video

The official music video of the song was released on 19 May 2017 through Robin Schulz's YouTube account. It was directed by Liza Minou Morberg[11] and is an obvious homage to the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.[12]
