Background
In an interview with Triple J discussing how the collaboration came about, Shaw stated:
"We met early last year [2018] but I've been a fan of him for such a long time. I love the way he dresses, which is random to say, but it matches the way his music sounds; he pairs fun different things together."[1]
Shaw additionally stated that she frequently listens to Basenji's track "Can't Get Enough".[1]

Mike Wass of Idolator described the track as an "understated electro-pop anthem" and stated it was "a winning addition to an already impressive discography."[5]
