• S-X joins forces with KSI on this track. Both artists sing about relationships that are on the rocks. "The song is a reflection of being "locked out" of someone's presence or energy," S-X said. "Feeling like you don't know where you stand and going through ups and downs as a cycle."
• S-X and KSI wrote the infectious song with frequent KSI collaborators Digital Farm Animals ("Don't Play," "Patience" and "Holiday") and Ivory Scott ("Cap," "Number 2," "Lose").
• S-X co-produced the tune with Nana Rogues (Tinie Tempah's "Girls Like," Drake's "Passionfruit" and Dave's "Streatham") and Diego Ave (KSI's "Patience" and "No Time").
