It was originally intended to be the lead single from the album Hurry Up Tomorrow, but was later excluded from the final track listing. The day after its release, a live version of the song was released. On September 16, 2024, an acoustic version accompanied by a music video was also released. An EP with previously mentioned versions and an instrumental and a cappella version was released the same day. The synth-pop track was met with positive reviews from music critics and debuted at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
