Background and promotion
About the song, Khalid revealed that he feels like "the message in this song is something that I needed to hear at the time I was writing it and I hope that it resonates with a lot of people who need to hear that kind of message".[2] Khalid announced the song through social media on January 24, 2020. The announcement was accompanied by the cover art which depicts the upper half of his face in a turquoise blue light and a clip of the chorus of the song.[3] The song was used by Levi's for a campaign video of XX Chino.[4]
Critical reception
Alex Nino Gheciu of Complex described the song as "a self-empowerment jam" which "is a decidedly more upbeat, dancefloor-ready affair" compared to his previous single "Eleven".[4]Stereogum's Chris DeVille thought that the track is by no means a ""Talk" redux" but "a subtly propulsive, bass-heavy dance track" which "is far closer to the top of his discography than the bottom".[5] Michael Saponara at Billboard noted that the singer "floats over the soft electronic production with a message for a certain lover".[2]
