In February 2017, it was confirmed that Timberlake would be voicing the character Branch once again for a continuation of the 'Trolls' series. On August 19, 2019, SZA stated in an interview with Kerwin Frost that she had recently hit the studio with Timberlake. Timberlake confirmed the collaboration in October 2019, although not yet disclosing any details on what project it was intended for. On January 20, 2020, SZA took to her social media to post pictures of her in different costumes and settings, which would later turn out to be part of the video shoot. About the collaboration with Timberlake, the singer explained that she was "thrilled to be invited to participate in this project with Justin". On February 21, 2020, Timberlake posted a short video of himself talking about the song and providing the release date on Instagram.

Amanda Gordon of 'Vulture' described the song as "a deeply infectious, groovy song peppered with the kinds of handclaps and funky keyboard riffs designed to make you move". Furthermore, Jack Giroux of 'Grit', described the song as "a joyful slice of poppy funkiness".

Music video



The music video was released on February 26, 2020 and shows the artists dancing and grooving around in different settings. Critics drew comparisons to "Hype Williams' 1990s fish-eye-lensed clips for Missy Elliott, Diddy, Mase and others".
