Background
The song was written for documentary 7 Years of Lukas Graham, which premiered in Denmark on 5 November 2020. Talking about the song, Lukas said, "It's a song about remembering your roots without losing sight of where you wanna go. Growth is a necessary component in life if you want to be happy, and growth comes in many shapes and forms, most of them personal. I've traveled a long way already but I still live a few blocks away from where I grew up. My point is, that you can grow and move light years and still stay put. It's all about perception and attitude. Usually, to make something good out of something bad, all I need to do is change those two things. My perception and it my attitude. And the attitude we've had as a team has brought us far enough from home to work with legends like DJ Mustard and Wiz Khalifa. I'm stoked to have a song out with them and super proud of the work each of us have put into it."[4]
