Background and composition
Producer Purps from 808 Mafia states that he was aiming for a more "happy pop" sound when composing the tropical-influenced beat. After Purps played the beat by accident during a recording session, Juice was impressed by the beat and freestyled the lyrics to the song in 40 minutes.[7] In an Instagram live, Higgin's then girlfriend Ally Lotti revealed that the song was made after she almost left him as the first verse alludes to that.[citation needed]
Music video
The video was released on March 11, 2019, and was directed by Bradley & Pablo. In a homage to PlayStation games such as Twisted Metal, Juice is shown rescuing his love interest from a speeding truck with video-game-style CGI graphics integrated with live action, complete with a simulated car chase.[8][9][7]
