Sooraj say s“The song was meant to be a duet from the very beginning. I wanted to capture the intimacy of a late-night conversation. In that moment it’s just you and the other person baring your souls to one another, and I wanted to try and reflect the vulnerability and honesty of such a conversation.”He also adds,“This is not a love song, although it comes very close to being one. That’s the beauty of a 3am conversation - you can have it with anyone you choose, while being in the comfort of your bedclothes - be it a lover, a friend or a relative. It’s one of the most intimate songs I’ve written.”
