Background edit

Talking about the song, Codd said, "I wanted to get out and do things and I also wanted the stress of COVID out of my head, like I'm sure a lot of us did. The vocals really sat with me, making the track was like an escape for me. I remember the first time I played it in my car I got a release and a feel good vibe of it. I imagined festivals and people dancing, which felt like a distant memory during COVID. I posted the track online and immediately got a reaction. I was blown away. People were sharing it and tagging me, I was grateful and happy they liked it. I received messages from some people saying that it helped them during lockdown and that for them it was the tune of 2020, I couldn't believe the reaction it was getting."[6]

In December 2020, the song reached the spot on Music Moves Europe Talent Chart and remained there for three weeks.[7][8] In the same month, a video was released for it.[9]

On 5 February 2021, a remix featuring British rappers Swarmz and S1mba was released.[10]
