When surprise-releasing it on June 9, 2023, Mendes explained its origin on social media: "Started writing this song yesterday morning with my friends in upstate New York & finished it only a few hours ago..felt so important to me to share with you guys in real time."[1] He also announced a donation to Canadian Red Cross.[1] The song's artwork features a picture of the New York City skyline hardly visible due to a shroud of smoke from the 2023 Canadian wildfires, which drew controversy.[2][3][4]
