The story behind the song

This song captures the bittersweet feeling of watching an ex move on with someone new, all while you're still present in the same space. It depicts a protagonist at a club, observing their former partner dancing and embracing another, contemplating a final confrontation before time runs out. The song was inspired by situations the original artist observed while clubbing, as well as "inherently sad gay disco anthems" and the dissolution of an engagement. Calum Scott's rendition brings a poignant depth to this universal experience of heartbreak and longing.
