Background

The song is the first single release since co-founder and keyboardist Andy Fletcher died in May 2022.[1] Dave Gahan said the song "captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy". Martin Gore added that the song has "such an upbeat feel to it" and how rare it is for the band to record a song that "I just don't get sick of listening to".[2][3]
