The song is a duet with Megan Moroney. Old Dominion's Matthew Ramsey spoke favorably of Moroney's involvement on the song, highlighting her intuition as a singer-songwriter, saying "I think we all loved the way she creates a song, her sense of how notes flow, but she's both songwriter/singer who came in and pushed this song to almost a scene from a movie".[1] It was co-written by Ramsey and fellow band member Trevor Rosen with Tofer Brown and Emily Weisband.
