Written and produced alongside Pasqué, it was released on March 9, 2016 as the lead single from his debut studio album Good for You (2017).

[1] In an interview with Genius, Aminé said that: The first time I heard the name "Caroline" was in OutKast's "Roses", so that was definitely an influence on me in general.

But I wrote this song with the intentions of hopefully making a modern day "Billie Jean".

Caroline represents the handful of women I’ve met in my life that I would put genuine effort in.

[2]The song's accompanying music video premiered on June 1, 2016, on Aminé's Vevo account on YouTube.
