Background and composition edit
The band first wrote the chords for the song on an old guitar, which only had three remaining strings.[2] The song was produced by Malay,[3] and the song's lyrics were inspired by acceptance.[4]
Release and promotion edit
The song was debuted live on 16 January 2021 during the band's first performance of the Six60 Saturdays tour of New Zealand,[5] and was released just prior to the final performance of the tour in Hamilton.[6]
Music video edit
The song's music video features a number of cameos by New Zealand celebrities, including sportspeople Dan Carter and Joseph Parker, politician Chlöe Swarbrick, musicians Dave Dobbyn and Mitch James, and newscasters Mike McRoberts and Samantha Hayes.[7] The video's concept was inspired by the idea of musicians testing their music through car speakers before release,[7] and is an homage to "How Bizarre" (1995) by OMC.[4]
