The production gets the back burner here in favor of a stripped down sound with gentle guitar strums and swanky Latin rhythms, as Newman’s smooth vocals take the spotlight.
With no confirmation as to the song’s lyrical subject matter, fans can only speculate about the themes in Calvin Harris‘ latest effort.
