Baby Queen was asked by Heartstopper author Alice Oseman to write a song specifically from the point of view of Nelson's character and his understanding of his sexual identity. Baby Queen said, "To be asked to be a part of a story as beautiful and culturally important as Alice Oseman's Heartstopper was unbelievable, and still feels completely surreal."[1]
In 2023, a 7-inch pink splatter vinyl of "Colours of You" was made and limited to 1,000 copies for Record Store Day 2023 in the United Kingdom. Side A consisted of "Colours of You", and Side B featured a stripped-piano version of Baby Queen's single "Lazy".
