Background and release


In July 2022, Goulding sent an email to her fans saying "that the song was a long time coming and that it had had many lives".[3] Detailing the process behind the song, she said: "Truthfully, this song started life about 5 or 6 years ago. I was coming to the end of the Delirium cycle and started on some ideas for the next record. I wrote it with Greg Kurstin (who I've worked with many times before) and Julia Michaels and I always knew there was something special about this song but it never really had a 'home'".[citation needed] Regarding the inclusion of Big Sean on the record, she added: "We tried different versions over the years and none of them felt quite right. When I started working on my new record I revisited it and weirdly, I'd just seen Big Sean's recent Coachella set and was just blown away by his presence. I've been a fan for so long and he even sampled me on his Hall of Fame album so I decided to reach out and see if he'd be interested. Fortunately, he said yes and it became the song you hear now."[citation needed]

A solo version of the song was later released on 26 August 2022.[4]


Music video


The music video, directed by Sophia Ray, was shot in a school in Bulgaria. Goulding plays several characters, including a teacher and an androgynous rocker, to take on an otherworldly creature. Sean makes a cameo during when Goulding plays a teacher who is taking class photos.[5]

In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, Goulding stated: "I was really nervous that the video would just end up being a representation of the song. But I wanted it to be something else. I wanted it to be a bit trippy, like we’re living in some kind of parallel universe, or we’re all in some kind of simulation, like a video game."[6] She added that she wanted to allude to characters that might return later in the campaign.
