Background edit
Act told news.com.au: "A sweet 16 years after Australian Idol, I have the chance to show Australia how I have grown as an artist and a performer [...] I've sat at home every year since Guy Sebastian competed [at Eurovision] in 2015 and have been so keen to be a part of it."[2] Act met the writers of the song at Kylie Minogue’s 50th birthday party; where one of the writers told Act that he loved her on Celebrity Big Brother and that he would love to work with her.
Critical reception edit
Express.co.uk called the song "uptempo dance-floor anthem that could go down a storm in Tel Aviv" and a "banger all about coming together and fighting for the things we believe in".[3]
