Background

Critical reception

Kate Jeffrie of Clash states, "The song meditates on the struggles of moving on – hyper personal and always nuanced, as the best of Capaldi is – but bleeds into the universal, a heartbreak track that could fill a stadium with those that know the feeling." Music Talkers said, "There’s a rare kind of honesty in the way Lewis writes — he doesn’t just sing about heartbreak, he translates it. You don’t just hear his pain, you recognize your own somewhere inside it."
