The story behind the song

This song captures the intense feeling of needing someone to be there for you when you're at your most vulnerable, asking them not to abandon you. The Chainsmokers crafted the track with a "big, echoey guitar sound" inspired by bands like The xx, adding a distinctive atmosphere. Daya's vocals, which the duo specifically sought out after hearing her voice, bring this plea to life. Playing this song means channeling that raw desire for support and the emotional weight of relying on another.
