When speaking on her collaboration with ALOK, Jess celebrates the nostalgia she felt working on the single, drawing parallels to her chart topping song ‘Hold My Hand’:
 
“It brings me so much joy when people say that ‘Hold My Hand’ reminds them of summer. There’s no better feeling than having a song that makes you reminisce on good times. So here’s another one that I hope people can enjoy this summer! Thank you ALOK, for having me on this track.”Jess Glynne

Jess Glynne burst onto the scene in the early 2010s in the UK as the voice of chart-topping tracks “My Love” with Route 94 and “Rather Be” with Clean Bandit.
