Critical reception

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard praised the song, stating that it "demonstrates the evolution of Walker’s production techniques". He also described Max's vocals as "a moment designed for glass-clinking, unified swaying and other forms of party camaraderie".[3]

Music video

The official video of the song was uploaded on Walker's YouTube channel on 27 December 2019. It is the sequel to the video of "On My Way", Walker's 2019 single in collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter and Farruko, as the music video also includes Susanne Karin Moe portraying the female protagonist from the previous video.[5] The Kristian Berg directed video was filmed in Quảng Bình on 2–10 April 2019, in places such as the Sơn Đoòng cave, Tróoc river, Chay river, Tra Ang bridge, Doong village, En cave and Nuoc Nut cave.[5] A second video, also directed by Kristian Berg, was released on 17 February 2020, and was filmed live at the Château de Fontainebleau castle in France.[6]
