Background and writing

According to a HitQuarters interview with co-writer and producer Cutfather, the song was initially inspired by Liberty X's "Just a Little" (2002), "I liked that song and wanted to do something, not similar, but something in that vibe", he said.[1] Originally written for Swedish singer Robyn,[2] Cutfather also considered giving the song to Australian singer Kylie Minogue.[3]
