Joy told Triple J 's Ben & Liam the song was written whilst on tour in the US opening for Taylor Swift . Joy said : " It 's a song that took me by my surprise . It 's about stepping out into the unknown and finding out what you 're made of , which I did a bit on that tour . I was definitely scared opening up shows for Taylor Swift . It was kinda scary but I 'm glad this song arrived . " At the APRA Music Awards of 2019 , the song was nominated for Most Played Australian Work and Pop Work of the Year
