It was produced Larson and Fredriksson and mixed by Serban Ghenea and Bryce Bordone.[2] A snippet of the song, along with snippets of "Fire in These Hills" and "Wake Up", were shared to the winning Croyants team on the band's four doors website.[3] The band posted an official teaser of the song on May 15.[4] In an Instagram Live, Reynolds described the lyrics of the song:
The song is about the dating process. I’ve always really hated that when you are dating someone, you are also kind of dating their friends. Like I didn’t sign up for that. I really like you but I really don’t have to like all your friends. The person that I wrote it about, I got her permission before getting the song out. We are friends now, but there was a moment when we were not doing good.
