I wrote this in my bedroom in London very much as a duet. I remember saying, “I want James Bay to sing this, and I don’t want anyone else.” Taylor Swift’s folklore came out around when I was writing this track, and “exile,” the duet with Bon Iver, was a big inspiration. It’s a song about being scared of how much you need somebody and how much you care about somebody.

Being asked to make a whole soundtrack was a huge challenge as I’d never done anything like that before, but it was super interesting to me, so, I said “yes.” Having spoken with Jim [O’Hanlon] and reading all the scripts, I started piecing it together with Joe [Rubel] and we wrote the bulk of it in two months last winter over FaceTime. Building the universe was so fun, and it was really special getting to collaborate with James, Griff, and Bear’s Den, as I’ve been big fans of them most of my life.
