For NME, Liberty Dunworth described it as a dance-pop anthem.[4] Writing for Dork, Sam Taylor noted that it combined elements of dance-pop with acid house music.[7] The song was written by Sugar Bones (Aiden Moore), Janet Planet (Grace Stephenson) and Reggie Goodchild (Lewis Stephenson) of Confidence Man along with Jade. Reggie Goodchild also produced the song.[8]
Reception
Ahead of its release, Liberty Dunworth wrote "It combines the attitude of acid house, the beats of dance and the tongue-in-cheek playfulness of pop."[4] Writing for Clash, Robin Murray described it as "the perfect blend of Confidence Man club raunch and Jade's pop effervescence."[9] For DIY, Daisy Carter called it a "sassy, strutting new joint number which is sure to be the song on everyone's lips for the rest of summer."[10]
