These demos were left untouched for years until Peter Bernard, the manager of Domino Recording Company's US label, encouraged the duo to finish them.

A remix by Axel Boman was released in January 2023, and Braxe + Falcon performed the song live for the first time with Lennox that July at Knockdown Center in Queens.

The producers Alan Braxe and DJ Falcon, who are cousins, each worked on electronic music in the late 1990s and 2000s on Thomas Bangalter's label Roulé.

[4] The demos they made together were left untouched for years until the two spoke with Domino Recording Company's US label manager Peter Berard around 2020, who convinced them to finish their work.

[2] The song makes use of audio filtering, an element typical of French house music,[5] and Braxe + Falcon used newer instruments such as modular synthesisers in the production, which they felt helped them "reconnect with the punk spirit of the early days" and released them from convention.

[7] As they were working on the song, Braxe + Falcon decided to send the instrumental to Animal Collective co-founder Noah "Panda Bear" Lennox.

[9] KCRW's Travis Holcombe said Braxe and Falcon's instrumental "emanates warmth and is almost like a slowed-down version" of the four-on-the-floor tracks that originally brought them acclaim.

[19] Another Pitchfork editor, Philip Sherburne said that the rest of the EP "pales in comparison", hailing it as "a languid yacht-rock-disco number" and praising its chord progression.

Pitchfork's Minsker said Lennox gave the song a "narrative framework", hailing the musician's performance as his best of the year, saying that his multi-tracked vocals in "copious" repetition transformed "an old self-help chestnut into a life-changing belief system".

[8] KRCW's Holcombe said Lennox's talent with the melody and his optimistic lyrics were a perfect complement to the production, which created an "all-time great track".
