Background
The song marks the second collaboration between Loredana and Zuna, after the latter had previously co-written the song "Angst". Zefi teased the song release on 23 March 2020 by posting a clip of the song.[3] According to her, the hook was created while being in quarantine.[4] The project sparked further speculation about both artists possibly dating.[5]
Critical reception
Lukas Breit of Rap.de thought the song "impresses with its summery vibes" and "spreads a good mood during times of quarantine".[6] The editors at Laut.de described the song as "simple, yet effective" while the "Dancehall-tinged beat provides an appropriate basis for Loredana's and Zuna's superficial lyrics".[7]

The video was filmed at Loredana's home near Lake Lucerne while her and Zuna placed themselves in self-isolation due to the COVID-19 epidemic.[8] It features shots of both rappers, as well as a compilation of TikTok users doing dance routines to the song.[7] The video reached more than 1,9 million views in its first 19 hours.[9]
