Composition

The track has been characterised as a "psych-disco bop",[7] a "beat-driven, atmospheric soft-rocker",[8] a "yacht rock cruiser",[9] and a "playful, dancey spin on the Perth band's psychedelic pop".[10] According to a press release the song was inspired by 1970s disco and 1990s house. Rolling Stone described the song as Parker singing "airily over a bright, colorful groove".[11]
