Musical composition
Cassie spoke to The Harbour Agency about the song:
“The song is such a fusion,” “It’s urban in the verses and then the chorus rocks out a bit. There are even some punk bits in the bridge too. “Like many of my other songs, I started this one in my studio and I wasn’t thinking about genre or a song to match the others. It was just what I was feeling at the time so there are a lot of different vibes in it but you can still sing along.”
