Songfacts®:

  • Bonzai was born Cassia O'Reilly in Indiana, USA to a jazz singer and musician, but raised in Dublin, Ireland. Bonzai used to sing as part of a Dublin folk duo in her teens, before relocating to London, where she found a job as a backing singer for NAO. The Irish songstress was taken on by Nao's manager, who introduced her to electronic musician Mura Masa.
  • The sultry-voiced singer wrote this song with Mura Masa during a writing camp working holiday. Bonzai said: "It's about the feeling of being lost, which I think everyone feels at some stage, but then it's like, it could be worse and it can always get better."
  • Bonzai told BBC Radio 1's Annie Machow a different trip to Cuba made her want to throw "a few happier chords" in on the final version of the track.
  • The Irish songstress also features on two tracks on Mura Masa's self-titled debut album: "Nuggets" and "What If I Go?"
