The dreamy acoustic track sees each of the vocalists singing about their encounters with strangers from different perspectives. The song serves as a follow up to his most recent release, a cover of Chaka Khan's "Sweet Thing," which dropped back in June.

"This strange idea of creating a bizarre posse song, similar to a scenario by A Tribe Called Quest or something, but with guitars," Dijon said in a press release. "Different voices on the same guitar loop was intriguing and I asked people I knew if they wanted to try it... [we] randomly threw names in a hat of who would seem really strange and fun on it; mostly people we’d never heard on a song or on an album together."
