The song was written by Esmée Denters and Toby Gad. Toby Gad produced the song, together with Justin Timberlake who also provided additional vocals and beatbox.[2] Upon its UK release, it was described by noted R&B writer Pete Lewis of the award-winning Blues & Soul as "punchy retro-funk".[3]
Music video
The video was filmed in Los Angeles and was directed by Kenneth Cappello.[4] It premiered on 3 September on Dutch music channel TMF.[5] Denters said of the video, "Since I wrote this song, I really envisioned the video a certain way. It’s a fun and flirty song, and I wanted that to show in the video as well. So my friend and I just started writing the storyline for the video and gave it to the video director, Kenneth Cappello. He did an amazing job capturing all of it."[6]
