Genius, Snakehips summarised the song: "We wanted to make something that had a classic hip-hop groove and gospel vibes but then have some modern more electronic sounds going on too. We made the beat and wrote the hook last year in London. We thought Tinashe and Chance would be the perfect vocalists for it and so we reached out to them. We never really expected to be able to make it happen as they were both huge artists doing their own thing, but they both were into it and we managed to put it all together. It was recorded in a few different places and we never all got into the studio at once just because everyone's schedules were so crazy!" Regarding the chorus ("All my friends are wasted / And I hate this club, man I drink too much / Another Friday night I've wasted / My eyes are black and red, I'm crawling back to your bed"), the duo said: "We wrote the hook and came up with the concept with our writing partner
Cass Lowe last year. We thought it would be cool to do an anti-party track that kinda sounded uplifting at the same time and had some gospel vibes to it. And yeah we've had a load of whack nights out in the past, I think it's something everyone can relate to." In an interview with the
Official Charts Company, Snakehips member Ollie Lee explained that the song is not about one particular story, but "really just about years of bad nights out... living in London!" When asked about how the collaboration came about, Lee continued, "I have no idea to be honest with you. We made the beat to the song last year and we really wanted Tinashe and Chance on the song. Honestly, they were our first choices for the track – they were two relatively new acts at the time and we both loved what they were doing. We just sent them the song and they both said they liked it. We couldn't believe that they'd even heard of us. I still can't believe it all worked out actually. The whole thing is sort of ridiculous..." == Commercial performance ==
