In a TV3 interview with Cookie Tee, he explained that the song was a result of a heartbreak from a past relationship two years ago.
The 21-year-old artist felt the need to express his feelings through music due to his deep love for the girl, whose name he chose not to disclose. He mentioned that he occasionally hears from her and she wishes to reconcile, but he believes there are plenty of other opportunities out there.
