The track was written by Billie Eilish O'Connell, Charlotte Aitchison, Dylan Brady, Finneas O'Connell, and Harrison Patrick Smith. Produced by FINNEAS and The Dare.
The accompanying music video was directed by Aidan Zamiri.- Billie Eilish said of the song, “I was really nervous, because I haven't worked with anyone but Finneas in six years, and I hated it back in the day.”
Her brother and producer FINNEAS added, “Billie was sitting and telling me why she loved this one artist, and we were watching their music videos together and I know them, and I was texting them like, 'We're sitting here watching your stuff, it's so good.' They were like, 'I'm in L.A.' I was like, 'You want to do a day?'” -
According to a press release, all of bras and underwear used in the video were donated to I Support The Girls, which collects and distributes essential items people experiencing homelessness, impoverishment or distress.
