Joy explains “I wrote this last year when I was in Malibu. I guess it’s about meeting someone really great and not wanting to miss the chance of seeing them again. When I was writing this song, I was travelling from my little AirBnB in Venice Beach to the studio in Malibu and I got to drive my car on this beautiful stretch of coastal highway and I think that drive inspired some of the lyrics."[1]

An acoustic version of the song was released on 4 May 2018.[2] A Luca Schreiner version of the song was released on 8 June 2018[3] and a Ryan Riback version on 6 July 2018.[4]

Reception

Brandon John from Tone Deaf said "In keeping with much of his best work, it’s about as hopeful a tune as you could reasonably ask for, dripping with the optimism of a young romantic as Vance proclaims his new love to the sun over bright acoustic and a swelling horn section."[6]

gollark: The easiest way to consider them, I think, is as "applicatives with bind (`Monad m => m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b` or whatever)" and not, say, burritos.
