Background
In an interview with 'Billboard', Den Boer and Pool said about the song's performance: "We put a lot of effort into making this track special and we want to incorporate a lot of organic instruments. We're really happy how the track turned out and it's very rewarding to see it perform well." Talking about the songwriting with CelebMix, Reinhart said "This tune has such electricity in it, as the lyric expresses a darker side of a relationship."
Reception
Grant Gilmore of EDMIdentity described the song as "relatable to anyone who has had to say goodbye to someone who broken anothers trust and is not deserving of their love." Katie Stone of EDM.com called the song " an upbeat, pop-centric track with a not-so-upbeat meaning."
