Content[edit]

Brown wrote the song with Josh Hoge, Matt McGinn, and Lindsay Rimes at a songwriter's retreat during the wintertime.[1] Rimes also co-produced the song with Dann Huff.[2]

According to Brown, they wrote the song's instrumentation first before coming up with the concept of "a relationship turned cold".[3] In August 2020, Brown remixed the song featuring rapper Nelly. This remix also received a music video featuring the two singers on a beach.[4]
