Background and promotion
Rexha announced the single on September 17, 2019, following a snippet released the day before. The writers of "Flagpole Sita" by Harvey Danger are credited as songwriters due to melodic similarity.
Critical reception
Claire Shaffer of 'Rolling Stone' wrote that the song "spins the story of Maleficent into a classic girl empowerment anthem [...] and lets Rexha show off her impressive vocal belt." Writing for MTV, Trey Alston stated that "Bebe Rexha has just provided the anthem for power and resilience this winter [...] Being that it's attached to something so massive, it makes sense that it is so wide-eyed and vivid, ready to rear into roaring view. Inevitability has never sounded so strong."
Music video
The inspirational music video was directed by Sophie Muller. It features Rexha leading fellow female runners through a city. The video also shows Rexha wandering through a "magical" and "butterfly-filled" forest while sporting a glittering black gown and headpiece. The video was released on October 15, 2019.
