BADBADNOTGOOD’S Chester Hansen says: "We all love the original version of the song, and we were honored to have the opportunity to try and remix it. We heard Sam’s isolated singing and realized how soulful and emotive it was and what seemed to sound the best was re-harmonizing the chords and taking it in a soul direction. We came up with a slow groove for the verse that let the vocals breathe, and played the chorus double time to make it more powerful. After we laid down the rhythm track, we overdubbed guitar, keys and a bunch of other parts to fill it out. We’re very proud of it and so excited to share it with everyone."
