Background

Charli XCX first teased the song on her social media accounts in May 2022, sharing a snippet of the chorus in a video posted to her TikTok.[3] Tiësto stated that he knew the song would be a "smash" when he first heard Charli's vocals on the recording, and also said that it was "amazing to see how everyone has been reacting to the message of the song".[1]

Reception

edit

Tom Breihan of Stereogum called the song a "short dance-pop track with a brittle Tiësto beat and lyrics about overcoming a breakup by hitting the dancefloor and looking good", writing that Charli sings about "rockin' it, droppin' it, shaking her ass, no stoppin' it" in the chorus.[4] The song was nominated for Dance Song of the Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[5]
