Background
[edit]Speaking about the song to Rolling Stone Australia, Benee said: "When flying in a plane on tour, looking down onto what looks like an ant-like world really inspired the lyrics... How huge something feels when you’re in it, but zoomed out so small. I love thinking about life like that."[1][2]
Critical reception
[edit]Rachel Brodsky of Stereogum called the track "upbeat and anthemic" and said it "has a clear hip-hop influence, with a glitchy backing track".[3]
