He’s said the inspiration came from nostalgic memories of his own London summers, looking up to his cousins returning from garage raves.

The peaceful moment painted by a breezy guitar is short-lived—suddenly, a fierce trap beat crashes in, gripping the listener’s heart.

The pair’s back-and-forth vividly portrays a burning desire for revenge—“I won’t forgive you”—toward an ex-lover, and some may find their relentless words unsettling.
