Written by Holt along with Bill Maybury, Joe Kearns and Ricky Manning, the rousing, emotive pop bop sees the singer – who wrote and featured on recent Chase & Status and Gryffin tracks – lyrically shine a light on the denial felt after a difficult breakup, and also exposes the mask people use to cover up deeper emotions.

Laden with an infectious drumbeat and soaring melody, Ethan says of the relatable track: “The lyrics of this song capture the emotional journey of dealing with the sadness of trying to move on from a relationship. With lines like ‘running from you is like running from my shadow’ the song hits home for anyone who’s been through a tough breakup. The vivid imagery and genuine expressions make it an impactful anthem for those navigating the complexities of love and loss.”
