The band shared on social media, “been meaning to write a song with Gus Dapperton since we first met on tour back in 2018. we wrote this on zoom in jan last year, it was freezing cold, I had set up the studio in a barn and gus was in snowy new york. we wrote the song inspired by the winter and all it's icy emotions. we then shot the video together in new york on the coldest day I can remember, a perfect ending to the antifreeze story.”- Murray Matravers told Clara Amfo about the song, “I wrote it in January of last year. And it was like locked down it was when I was miserable. I was freezing cold. So yeah, I suppose I was kind of miserable and sad.”
He continued, “I was actually having a great time making it to be honest. Gus and we made the instrumental together partially on Zoom. Because he was he lives in New York. He's a friend of mine. And we're just chatting. We're like trying to make a song and I had a great time. It was very funny.”
He added, “I tried the whole zoom session thing in lockdown, because that was like a thing that everyone was doing. And never worked not once, but just as amazed. It's nice and you can actually understand a lot more about how they're actually feeling to the body language and all that kind of stuff.” - source : BBC Radio 1
