In an interview with PAPER Magazine, the Chinese-Canadian singer explained how the pair ended up recording the song.
“It was super organic,” he said. “Travis was out of town, but we had this idea for a collaboration, you know, east and west. Travis was immediately interested in the idea and we were in the studio just talking and vibing out a little bit. We just got the hook down and we’d made this record.”
