The song was leaked in May 2019, with many of the song's featured vocals to be from either Halsey or Lana Del Rey. It was rumored that Lana's vocals were replaced by fellow singer Naomi Wild. The day before the album release, a 15-second preview of the song was uploaded on social media to promote the album.[2] The song was released along with the album on July 5, 2019.[3] Wild then went on social media and revealed how the collaboration took place: "We started glass house at Wynne's house, I wrote my parts there and the next day we found out Machine Gun Kelly had heard it and had already laid down verses. Two days later we met Colson at a glass house in the hills where he played us the track."[4][5] The song is about mourning the death of Kelly's peers, namely Nipsey Hussle (in the first verse), Lil Peep, Mac Miller and Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington (in the second verse). In the third verse, Kelly reflects on his personal life, namely his suicide attempt.[6]
