Songfacts®:

  • Nick Jonas recorded this duet with Demo Lovato after Nick's stint as a creative and musical director for her The Neon Lights Tour. The pair penned the tune with Artist vs. Poet members Joe Kirkland and Jason Dean. "She and I recorded a song that, um, I think is beautiful. It's not necessarily a love song," Nick told MTV News. "It's so easy to do a duet that's a love song because our relationship isn't really that. But there is love there for a friend, you know, and it's beautiful to just talk about."

    "Any kind of relationship can hit a point where if it's not stable, it's not secure then it's like an avalanche crashing down and that's what that song is about," he added. "Her voice is amazing on it and, um, it feels good. I'm excited for people to hear it."
