Background

In an Interview with Student Pocket Guide, the duo stated about the collaboration with Henderson: "We finished the first demo and sent it to Ella to check how she felt about it. It was during lockdown, so everything was done remotely then. When she sent us back her first try it was amazing. Since the track is powerful, her voice fit the vibe perfectly. It was a no brainer. She took it next level".[3]
