  • This song featuring horns and a gospel choir backing is about La Havas' relationship with her boyfriend. The singer's beau is a recording mixer engineer called Ben, who she met on her travels. La Havas told The Independent: "It's basically about being so sure about the love you have for each other that you don't need to say it to each other any more, you know what I mean? You just know by how they are with you."
  • The song was produced by Aqualung's Matt Hales, who also helmed La Havas' debut album Is Your Love Big Enough?
