The song talks about the feeling of loving somebody "who makes life extraordinary". It was noted for showcasing Warren's ability to translate his emotions "into lyrics and melodies" and created yet another "catchy chorus" in the process.[2]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was released alongside the song on February 7, 2025, and features Warren's wife Kouvr Annon. He is seen chasing her through different places, including a forest, a beach and a desert before they finally catch up. At the end both levitate towards the sky.[3]
