Olivia Dean told Clara Amfo about the song, “I just thought you know what I'm gonna go for Motown on this one. I've wanted to make a song like this for so long, it's just giving Diana Ross. it's fluffy. It's just like a cloud.”
She continued, “You know what it was a joy to write like the day we wrote it. Like I almost cried. I was like, I've done it. I've written the song I wanted to write. But it took like, I want to say a year to finish it. Because you just have something so special. And I'm very particular. So I was like, it's not right for a long time.”- NM4e606yFJg

The debut album comprises 12-track. She said of the album “It's an album about like accepting imperfection in life. I think when people make mistakes, and when they're human, they're the most beautiful so it's just a collection of messy thoughts and acceptance.”
She added, “We're always changing, growing, shifting and nobody's perfect in that they can make you think that they are. Everyone's a mess.”- source : BBC Radio 1
