The track was written by Sarah Aarons, and Kevin Parker, who also produced it.
The accompanying music video was directed by Julian Klincewicz.
Tame Impala told Zane Lowe about the song, “It's kind of the oldest song from the album process. It's kind of one of the ones I started first. So, like, that's kind of that's like an example of one of those, the ones that started, that's this really raw, minimal way. And then just sort of like slowly expanded into pop. I kind of just give the song what it wants, like that one just wanted that big, sort of it wanted to be like a Max Martin song.”- The new album comprises 12 tracks, produced by Kevin Parker. It is his first album in five years since the 2020 album “The Slow Rush”. Also, it is the first release under his new label Columbia Records.
He was worked on the album over the last few years between his hometown of Fremantle and his studio, Wave House in Injidup, Western Australia in the first half of 2025.
Tame Impala told triple j about the album, “I mean, I'm always into exploring new things. That's kind of the thing that that's the kind of thing that keeps me going. It is just like exploring parts that I haven't explored before, that I love. One of the things with this album that wanted to do was just use, like, a really, like, small amount of sounds. And not just use the whole not use the whole studio. I just wanted to make this really, like condensed sound. So even though there's like techno and there's sort of like psych rock, or whatever you want to call it. To me, they kind of they fit together. I can't really explain why, but that's kind of how I feel.” - source : Apple Music
