Background

The song premiered on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 segment Hottest Record on 7 May 2020 as the fifth single off Ware's fourth studio album, What's Your Pleasure?. It was released during the COVID-19 pandemic and Ware explained that the song "has taken on a new meaning during these weird times and it seems like the right time to put it out. This track is an optimistic one for me, I hope it resonates with people wherever they are right now. It’s an upbeat song to dance along to and have fun with. I know I’ve got plenty of kisses I’m saving up for everyone when this is all over.”
Multiple critics compared the song to Robyn's 2018 studio album Honey.

Music video

On 8 May 2020, Ware announced on her Instagram account that there will be a music video accompanying the song.
