In an email to BuzzFeed News, Niia said the song was six years in the making. "Over the years it stayed in a folder as I gained new experiences, new lovers and ultimately grew up," she said. "For me the challenge was to find a way to make sure the song felt true to who I was back then, but also who I am now... the song is a perfect blend of the young me — eager to fall in love — and the current me that has a better idea of what I want and deserve."
