The 1975 frontman Matty Healy first revealed he’d been working with Charli in August 2019, explaining that he “sent her a beat” before the pop star responded with “a HIT. A MONSTER TUNE!!”
Healy later told fans that No Rome featured on the song, which was helmed by The 1975’s drummer/producer George Daniel. The singer teased the collaboration once again back in January.
Speaking to NME at Reading Festival 2019, Charli XCX confirmed she and Healy had “sent some ideas back and forth”, adding that she was “such a fan of him and the [The 1975]”.
“They just get it, and they also don’t get it at the same time, which I think is the best way to make music,” she continued. “And I think he’s such a smart lyricist, it’s just very smart and also fun, and I feel like they really love pop music.
“And I love that, and I’m so inspired by that energy and that uniqueness. So yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. But I really admire their songwriting, so hopefully something will happen.”

The 1975 collaborated with No Rome on his 2018 single ‘Narcissist’, with Matty Healy and George Daniel also serving as co-producers on the Philippine artist’s ‘RIP Indo Hisashi’ EP.
