Braun also spoke to Apple music about the song, revealing it was ‘born out of quarantine’ with his friends in Los Angeles.
‘I was staying at a friend’s house. They were doing a full lockdown deal and they were like, “You should be really careful about going out and talking to people.”‘
He added that he was thinking about going on a date and his friends said, ‘Don’t do that. Don’t do that. Don’t be near a person.”‘

The journey to creating this song started on May 6, when Braun took to Instagram asking for help with lyrics he came up with.
He added it was a ‘dream of my whole life’ to put a song together like this, adding, ‘I’ve been singing as long as I can remember.
‘I loved being in choir in first grade. I mean, I was obsessed with learning songs from a young age,’ he added.
