Background
editThe song focuses on long-term devotion for a romantic partner.[3] In a press statement, Rogers revealed that she wrote the song while completing her debut studio album, Heard It in a Past Life, and that she waited to record the song to "showcase the deep personal and creative bonds" she had with her live band. On the song, she said:
It’s a song about love in all its forms – romantic love, the love I feel for my friends, the love I feel for my band, and the love I've shared with all of you. I wanted it to sound like the last days of summer. I wanted it to sound as wild and alive as new love feels.[4][5]
