People like Jon Bellion, Jeff Gitty, and Stefan Johnson all helped. The song changed a lot before it was finished. It passed through many hands to become the version we hear today.
This song had many different versions. It started in one room and moved to another. Teddy Swims said he does not even know what the early versions sounded like, but he was very happy with how it turned out. It was a long, creative journey. For the music video, director Alex Chaloff used a simple, strong vision. He put Teddy in a bright orange room.
