It was released as a digital download on 3 November 2017 via Ridings' record label Good Soldier Records as the second single from Ridings' upcoming eponymous debut album (2019). The song was produced by Ollie Green. The song was included as part of Ridings' debut EP, You Mean the World to Me, as the second single from the project.[1] [2]

After being featured in Love Island, the song became Ridings' first charting single in July 2018, when it debuted on the UK Singles Chart; eventually peaking at number nine in October 2018. The song was sent to Australian radio on 31 January 2020 as the follow-up single to "Castles".[3] In July 2023, the track was certified triple Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry in recognition of achieving 1.8 million chart sales in the UK.
