Background and composition

Ahead of its release, the artists already performed the track at several festivals.[2] Hill explained that she had never been more excited to release "a drum 'n' bass tune" than she was about "Disconnect". The singer referred to the song as "a true dance floor record that tows the line between the rave and the radio".[3] She further revealed that she had been dreaming of working with Chase & Status ever since she was a teenager.[4]
