Background and release

edit

Tiësto declared about the song : "It's a very energetic track with so much energy in it. When I hear that track [...], the only thing I want is to go out !"[2]

Reception

edit

Nolan Freeney of Time considers that "Tiësto’s production doesn’t grind quite as hard as the singers’ past hits, and the added acoustic guitars feel like a blatant effort to capitalize on the success of Avicii’s “Wake Me Up!” but all of that is forgivable: the track’s highs are euphoric enough to get the job done."[3]
