Caution to the Wind

To "throw caution to the wind" means to behave in a completely reckless manner. Becky Hill was inspired to write the song by her love of such idiomatic expressions. "I decided to write a song based around idioms," she said. "There are around 13 on 'Caution' like 'Come hell or high water' and 'I'm going to go the extra mile'. They're how I feel about myself and my music."

The Oxford Dictionary of Idioms defines an idiom as 'a phrase that behaves like a word.' There are estimated to be at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in the English language, so Hill had plenty to choose from!

The song's music video was directed by Fred Rowson, whose other credits include the clip for DVBBS and Borgeous UK chart-topper "Tsunami (Jump)." Rowson said that he wanted the visual to "create a world in which we see the processes of creation, growing and ageing, shrunk down to model size and played out in front of our eyes."
