Produced by Bullion and Taylor Skye and recorded between London and Los Angeles, the track marks Sim’s first ever release not produced by his longtime best friend, collaborator and bandmate Jamie xx, and is his first new music since 2022’s debut solo album, Hideous Bastard.
The track is accompanied by a music video directed by lauded photographer and filmmaker Sharna Osborne, starring Sim alongside British fashion icon Erin O’Connor.
