Background

On September 5, 2017, Republic Records confirmed the forthcoming collaboration, and revealed its release and radio airplay date.[3] On September 7, 2017, Steinfeld posted teasers on social media, officially announcing the song's release date.[4]

Critical reception

David Rishty of Billboard called the song an "eye-popping collaboration", and felt it "has all the right ingredients for its lyrics to quickly get stuck in your head".[5] Kat Bein of the same publication deemed it "a radio-ready pop ballad",[2] "a feel-good breakup song with pop and country crossover". He opined that it "drips with tropical coconut notes with central vocals from Steinfeld and a strong backup from Florida Georgia Line", and sounds similar to Kygo's 2016 song "Carry Me".[6] Brittany Provost of EDMTunes called it "a surprisingly very catchy and upbeat track".[4] Kelly Brickey of Sounds Like Nashville felt it "bops like the next big club hit with FGL and Steinfeld trading off verses for an up-tempo love song".[7]
