Songfacts®:

• Wilkinson and Becky Hill first joined forces in 2013 when she supplied uncredited vocals for the DJ's "Afterglow" single. Since then Wilkinson has been keen to make another tune with Hill, but it needed to be something poles apart from their first collaboration. "This track has a quiet, almost soundscape feel to it," he said. "Becky's got an amazing vocal range and can really belt out a tune, but I wanted to try something different with her here and the vocal's delivered in a really gentle way."
• Becky Hill wrote the lyrics during the COVID-19 lockdown around the same time she penned her Netsky collaboration "Hold On." She described the song as about "being there for somebody no matter what."
• Hill first referenced the song in an August 31, 2021 interview with Notion. Wilkinson debuted "Here For You" a few months later at his Christchurch, New Zealand gig on December 28, 2021. He released the song as the second single from his Cognition album on February 11, 2022.
