The single was recorded as the commercial follow-up to "Stand Tall."

The single was later re-purposed and transformed from a folk-pop song to an uptempo pure pop song with additional writing and production from , known for working with artists such as Chris Brown and Nelly. The cover art was revealed the Friday before release, on October 7 and was promoted via Instagram, Snapchat, and the Malta Bay radio station.
