About recording the song, Furtado told '' Vogue'' that she had recorded it in three different cities. "Bomba Estéreo had a sold-out concert in Toronto, so I flew back from L.A. that day and made it to the show just in time. Afterwards, I was like, 'Li, you have to come to the studio and record a verse on this track I did—and I want the whole band to come.' I got the whole band into an Uber with all their instruments—Colombian flutes, drums, and guitars. The big Uber didn't come in time, so I stuffed them into a Subaru or something. We get to the studio, and I got tequila and chicken wings for everyone, and we just did it. About a month later, Li then recut her verse in New York City, and T-Minus and I finished it in L.A. It was such a labor of love." About the lyrics, Furtado also stated that the essence of the song is that "we're just out here living and trying to do our best. Even when we make mistakes, it's coming from the heart. When it comes from the heart, it's never a mistake."
