Songfacts®:

  • This has been described as the big sister to Little Mix's 2012 track "DNA." The group's Jesy Nelson explained to Digital Spy: "We listened to the track and were like, 'Ooh, this sounds a little bit like it could be the second part of 'DNA,' and then it pretty much is."

    "We've always wanted to do one," Leigh-Anne Pinnock added. "We love the sound of 'DNA' and we love being that weird character that's strong and powerful... so we knew we had to have something like that on this album."
