| quote  = "I called the A&R from my label and said, ‘This song completely captures how I feel lyrically and musically. It has live drums, live bass and live guitar, and also has programmed instruments, and it melds together evenly and fluidly.' I knew instantaneously that this was the song I was looking for."

"I wanted to come up with something that was really original and true to me. [[Oak Felder|Oak]] was the first person, out of all the producers I’ve worked with, to capture that immediately. It was this whole new feeling", she continued.<ref name="Fuse"/> About the inspiration for the song, she told ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'', "I had a lot of people in my life telling me what I needed to be doing and what direction I need to be going in. I was just getting really stressed out, and I found myself saying yes to a lot of things that I really didn't want to. There's that saying of being a Yes Man, and I was kind of being a Yes Girl. I wrote this song to remind myself that I can stand up for myself and be passionate about things and have an opinion – and that it's not wrong, I figured out if I put happiness in myself, that, if it comes from myself, I can be happy. If I tell myself I can accomplish things, I can do them. I'm excited for my fans to see how much I've grown."<ref name="People"/>
