Released on 20 January 2023 on 892 Recordings, the song was Piri & Tommy's first since splitting up and contained a guitar solo from Villiers.

[2] A couple of weeks later, one of the band's photographers retweeted one of their photo shoots, prompting her to find his Instagram account and ask him out.

[3]: 38:07  The pair released "Soft Spot" in June 2021, which went viral on TikTok and Spotify, prompting EMI to sign the pair, re-release the track,[4] and release a remix by MJ Cole,[5] a garage producer who had collaborated with Wiley, AJ Tracey, Dizzee Rascal,[6] and Stormzy.

[15] Joren Van der Plas of Dancing Bears described the track as "a perfect feel-good song to start the weekend with".

[16] Matthew Perpetua used his Fluxblog to note that Piri's tone was "so relaxed and low-key" that it neutralised the "frantic quality" of the music "without compromising [its] velocity" and likened Cole's contribution to "someone showing up with a cool lighting rig and changing the ambiance" [sic].
