The story behind the song by Clean Bandit and Mabel , featuring 24kGoldn, centers on the psychological weight of an "obsessive relationship" . Written just before the 2020 pandemic, the lyrics explore the internal conflict of being deeply fixated on someone while simultaneously wanting to break free from that fixation. The Core Narrative: Obsession The story behind the song by Clean Bandit

: The group never actually met 24kGoldn in person during production; he filmed his parts for the music video in Los Angeles while the rest of the team worked in London.

: DJ Baur is a prominent Russian remixer known for high-energy dance edits. His version—often featured on platforms like TikTok —strips back the original pop-classical blend for a more driving, club-ready beat suitable for dance floors and social media transitions.

: While the lyrics focus on romantic obsession, the music video—set in a house resembling a cuckoo clock—shifts the focus to the band members' personal eccentricities. This includes Jack Patterson's love for trains and Chatto's "obsession" with popcorn. Production During Lockdown
