Composition

[edit]

In an interview with Miami New Times, Ultra Naté described the song as "more of a disco-pop record" that draws influences from Donna Summer's song "I Feel Love".[1]

Critical reception

[edit]

Michaelangelo Matos from Resident Advisor described the song as "effortlessly built, but the chorus is its weakest point—the close-voiced, quick-sung up-and-down part, specifically. [...], though—the Auto-tune layers are judicious and give an already sheeny performance some extra shine."[2]
