Pixie penned this song with LA-based writer CJ Baran, a friend of Perez Hilton. The blogger was an early champion of Pixie in the US, and suggested the pair work together. Baran was once a member of boy band Push Play and his experience of pop music is matched by the song's third writer, James Bourne, formerly of mid 2000s teen faves Busted.
Pixie initially kept the collaboration a secret, "We set up a day in a studio in London on one of my days off – we didn't even tell the label," she grinned.
The below-the-radar collaboration resulted in a more impassioned, soulful sound than Pixie is generally known for. "I grew up listening to a lot of soul," she said. "And on the first album there's a lot of kinda sweet pop tunes. But on this album, alongside the happy, uplifting songs, I wanted to explore more soulful sounds – and it's like I get to sing more on those songs."
