 On November 14, 2019, responding to a fan who used the hashtag #askmellobludbear on Twitter, created for asking the three artists about the song, Yungblud confessed that the trio "wanted to make a song that encompassed all of their energies".Kat Bein of "Billboard" deemed the song "an upbeat, pop punk sing-along full of tweenage agony", with "a Yungblud's tight-throat emo pitch [which] takes the lion's share of the feature, while Blackbear comes in with his smoky-lung R&B style for the second verse".The single marks Marshmello's second foray into rock music in 2019, succeeding his song "Rescue Me" released in June.
