Trivia[]
- Zedd knew he wanted to collaborate with Ariana Grande after he heard her voice for the first time at a showcase. He said, "I was backstage and I heard someone sing. And I didn't know who it was, and I just said 'I want to make a song with whoever is singing right now.' I didn't know who it was, and it turned out being her. And luckily, now there's a song!"
- They met for the first time on May 10, 2014, at Wango Tango after "Break Free" was finished recording.

- On March 11, 2017, Zedd confirmed that Ariana will be featured in a song of his third studio album, but in 2021, Zedd didn't come out a third album, so the song still didn't release.[2]
