It also marks the duo's first new music since World War Joy (2019).[4] A demo version of the song written and sung by The Kid LAROI, and featuring The Chainsmokers was leaked in 2021 before the official version's release. This song made an instant impact on pop radio.[5]

Promotion[edit]

In early January 2022, the duo posted a teaser clip, which has waves with a purple filter on Instagram with the caption: "Who's ready? #TCS4".[6] On January 13, 2022, they uploaded a video with the caption: "Sorry, The Chainsmokers Are Back", announcing the single would come out.[7]

An accompanying music video was released on January 28, 2022, and directed by Kid. Studio. It stars Drew Taggart "chasing a love interest [...] on an airplane, the top of a skyscraper, and falling through the air".[8] The video gathered one million views in less than 24 hours.[citation needed]
