It was also produced by Kutzle, Samama, Loren Ferard, and John Nathaniel. The lyrics of the song describe letting go of fears and struggles to enjoy and lose yourself in new things and experiences. In the days prior of its release, the band posted teasers on social media to promote the song.[2] A common misconception is that the track features a sample from Daft Punk's Doin' It Right.
