I wanted it to be a bit trippy, like we’re living in some kind of parallel universe, or we’re all in some kind of simulation, like a video game.' She added that she wanted to allude to characters that might return later in the campaign. In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, Goulding stated: 'I was really nervous that the video would just end up being a representation of the song. Sean makes a cameo during when Goulding plays a teacher who is taking class photos. Goulding plays several characters, including a teacher and an androgynous rocker, to take on an otherworldly creature. The music video, directed by Sophia Ray, was shot in a school in Bulgaria. Fortunately, he said yes and it became the song you hear now.' Music video I've been a fan for so long and he even sampled me on his Hall of Fame album so I decided to reach out and see if he'd be interested.

When I started working on my new record I revisited it and weirdly, I'd just seen Big Sean's recent Coachella set and was just blown away by his presence. Regarding the inclusion of Big Sean on the record, she added: 'We tried different versions over the years and none of them felt quite right. I wrote it with Greg Kurstin (who I've worked with many times before) and Julia Michaels and I always knew there was something special about this song but it never really had a 'home''. I was coming to the end of the Delirium cycle and started on some ideas for the next record. Detailing the process behind the song, she said: 'Truthfully, this song started life about 5 or 6 years ago. In July 2022, Goulding sent an email to her fans saying 'that the song was a long time coming and that it had had many lives'.
