Sound

[edit]

Bianca Gracie of Idolator said, "It starts off with a charming acoustic guitar-flicked melody and soon rushes in with velvety vocals and shimmering synths that has "Summer" written all over it."[6]

Music video

[edit]

The official music video was released on 26 November 2015. It features Nico & Vinz, although they do not appear in the video.[7] It features a young couple backpacking through a serene country all the while experiencing love, enchantment, freedom and bitterness in the end.
