On a track-by-track interview with Pitchfork, Dev Hynes talked about the song’s connection to its predecessor on the album “Dagenham Dream”:

This song feels like an extension of “Dagenham Dream” in a really organic way. How are the two connected?

It’s like “Dagenham Dream” but older, and this time it’s more explicitly about skateboarding—just the escapism that I found through skating through the years, even now. The song itself was written really quickly. I tried all these different experiments for the album; a couple of times I booked studios for myself, which I’d never done before. I would just bring a hard drive—but not a computer—and use whatever was in the studio to make a track. Then I would take it back to the hard drive. So one day I was waiting for Andrew Aged from inc., and Fai, who sings on the album, to arrive in the studio, and I’d had this keyboard loop that I’d made in Rocky’s kitchen the night before. So in the hour while I was waiting I just made that song really quickly and didn’t think anything of it. But then they got there and they all fucked with it, so I was like, “Shit, maybe this is a track.”
