Songfacts®:

  • Here, Zara Larsson sings about a boy who she acknowledges is not good for her, but she wants him anyway.

    I know, I know that you're bad for my health
    But I don't care, I want you anyway
    Aye, yeah


    Larsson specifies why she can't stop seeing the guy later on the song when she sings how, "it's heaven in this bed."
  • Larsson co-wrote the song with Ed Sheeran and his frequent collaborator, Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid. The "Shape Of You" singer also contributes backing vocals during the chorus.
