Numerous songwriters are credited on the track, including benny blanco, Cashmere Cat, Caroline Shaw, frequent Kanye collaborators Jeff Bhasker and Noah Goldstein, and BJ Burton, best known for working with Francis and the Lights and Bon Iver.
Kanye handles the chorus on the track:
And you still take me to light (every time)
You still take me to light (every time)
And the stars will align (every time)
You ain’t lying
You ain’t lying
You ain’t lying
You gon' take me to the light (every time)
Every time, every time
