Background

Frontman Danny O'Donoghue said the song was written "about the intense feelings you experience when you realise you may be seeing the one you love [...] for the last time".

Critical reception

Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that the track is a "throwback to the anthemic stadium-rock of Science & Faith and No Sound Without Silence" as well as a "bruised and battered breakup song" and "relatable and instantly catchy".[1] Beth Casteel of Substream Magazine described it as a "poignant little number".[2]

Music video

The music video was released the same day as the song and directed by Charles Mehling.[1] It was filmed in London and stars Polish model Anna Jagodzińska.[3]
