Background


The song was inspired by a holiday trip to St. Lucia on Christmas 2018 by Ezra and his friends.[1] About the lyrical background of the song, Ezra explained, "there was a street party going on, with three different sound systems, people cooking in the street. I asked a woman what was going on and she told me it was a funeral – for three people. They were celebrating three lives! I thought: that is not how we do this at home. And it's really beautiful".[2]

The song release coincided with an announcement of his 2022 UK Arena Tour.[3] He performed the song, as well as a cover of Mimi Webb's House on Fire which was released on 18 February, during a BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performance on 19 May.[4]

Ezra performed the song during the Platinum Jubilee Central Weekend in June 2022. The singer revealed that he was asked to omit the line "on the day that I die" from the performance beforehand.[5][6]
