Discussing the vocals of the track, Yorke was quick to note that her recurring high-pitched sound actually came following an accidental hiccup in the studio, leading to her attempting to mimic the sound during the writing process.
“That’s sort of how the song started,” she explained, “and I wrote it in about an hour, it was a really quick write.”
Likewise, Paces explained how he knew from the start that the song was destined to be a big one.

“I loved the vocals when you sent them to me,” he admitted to Yorke. “I had like a 40-minute window on a plane trip, to just try something, and I reckon I wrote 90% of the music on that one plane trip.
“And I instantly knew that I loved it, and then I came home and spent two weeks tinkering on it, but 90% of it was done just on a quick plane trip,” he concluded. “So I guess both of were knocking it out as fast as possible.”
