“My producer wrote this with Kane out on the road one weekend and the split second I found out he wasn’t cutting this song I jumped on it and begged them to let me take a stab at it before anyone else had the chance to snatch it up,” Blair toldLyric Magazineof the collaboration. “It’s such a fun party anthem — I’ve been using this song as my show opener in my live set for a while now and I’ve seen first-hand how it hypes up the crowd.
