The story behind the song by Clean Bandit and Mabel , featuring 24kGoldn, centers on the psychological weight of an "obsessive relationship" . Written just before the 2020 pandemic, the lyrics explore the internal conflict of being deeply fixated on someone while simultaneously wanting to break free from that fixation. The Core Narrative: Obsession

: The song captures the feeling of having someone on your mind "24/7" to the point where your head is "screaming, 'Go away'" even as your body remains drawn to them.

The track was a major logistical feat, completed entirely during global lockdowns.

: Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit shared that she wrote it during a period when she felt annoyingly obsessed with a guy and used nature walks during lockdown to regain perspective.
