Writing and recording

Matoma heard " Make Me (Cry)" by Noah Cyrus and thought Cyrus' voice has "so much soul and personality", so reached out to her. The two worked apart, with Matoma based in Norway. [2] Matoma also said that with "Slow", he wanted to expand beyond his tropical house sound and "do something different from before" but still put out a "banger" before the album and tour. [3] He later said he wanted to make a song that was " future bass-inspired song with lots of bass and big drums in the chorus". [4]
