Toro y Moi is the recording project of musician Chaz Bundick, who wrote, produced, engineered, mixed, and performed all instrumentation on the track.

Bundick, in an announcement accompanying the song's release, called it an attempt "to make sincere pop music that’s not all processed and bubblegum.

"[4] Ian Cohen at Pitchfork felt the song "marks another leap in [Toro y Moi's] songwriting and production by way of working in the art of seduction.

"[6] Jamie Milton, writing for DIY called its varying instrumentation "distracting in its sheer novelty, but after a few listens everything slots into place, every previously conflicting element feels like it belongs.

"[8] Drew Millard at Vice described the tune as "a slow burn, fusing spacey Quiet Storm with the electronics of his first album, Causers of This.
