The song was written by Rexha, Pablo Bowman, Peter Rycroft and the song's producer Burns. It was described by Rexha as Better Mistakes's only dance track.[1] Musically, it is a dance-pop song[3][4] with club-ready beats[1] and deep diving hooks.[4]

Music video

The music video, directed by Christian Breslauer, was released on March 5, 2021 during YouTube Originals' Released series. It was inspired by action films from the late 1990s, such as Blade and The Matrix, and features Rexha as a vampire woman.[1][3] The video starts with Rexha and her band of vampire women invading a hospital and looting its blood bank. It ends with Rexha dancing in a club where blood rains from above.[5]
