In an interview with CNN, Lovato asserts she wrote the song's lyrics to President Trump, specifically calling out his "mishandling of racial injustice, white supremacy, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the dismantling of LGBTQ rights."

A few days later, on October 13, Lovato began to tease the song by posting a few clips of the upcoming music video to her Instagram page, featuring a young Black girl and an older White man mouthing the lyrics.

The singer, who has been outspoken about her political beliefs in the past, announced that the song had been released later that night on October 14, with a post captioned "I'm calling on all of you, please join me in voting for this years election.

The Lincoln Project, a group composed mainly of Republicans against Trump, teamed up with Lovato to release an alternative music video that displays a montage of images of people suffering, with shots of people detained at border detention centers, COVID-19 hospitalizations, and Black Lives Matter protests.

[7][8] Vulture praised the song in how it not only portrays the emotions spurred by the presidency of Donald Trump, but also encourages listeners to "fight for what's right" and "stand our ground", which includes voting in the forthcoming election.
