Background

edit

The song samples "Another Chance" by Roger Sanchez, which she described as one of her favorite songs. In an interview with the Daily Mirror, she said, "I wrote it and thought, 'I need to get this signed off by Roger'. He could have been so massively insulted we would even touch Another Chance! Thank God he was like, 'I love it!'. I loved that song. It was an era of them kind of records that have space for big vocalists. I remember the video of that person on the Tube with a massive heart!" She also said on her Instagram, "I wrote this song about missing people who I love and dreaming about being with them. It's been a ridiculous summer for all of us and I hope this song makes you dance and feel close to the people you love!"[2]
