Background and release



Jack River (whose real name is Holly Rankin) supported Peking Duk duo on their 2018 Australian tour and became friends. Peking Duk said "We've always loved what Jack River does and how she does it, so once she said that she loved the idea and hopped on the song, everything fit perfectly. She changed what was once a sombre melancholic skeleton of a song in to a fun, playful and sugary playground."

Jack River said it became "a bucket list item" to work with Peking Duk. She said "I had a vision for some time of making a whole song inspired by the vocals from all the amazing pop songs I grew up on. We all loved this idea and started to listen to all the best sounds of the early 2000s. We wanted to make something that felt like the sugar-candy world Jack River but dragged into the world of a soft drink commercial, or something an Ice Cream truck might blare on the boardwalks of LA."

Peking Duk's Adam Hyde describes the finished product as "a mix between Lou Bega and Darude".
