The song was produced by the band at their home studio in their parents' living room in Perth,[2] and features additional production by South African producer Robby De Sá.[3] The song is an ode to their two homes, Tauranga in Aotearoa / New Zealand and West Coast Drive in Perth.[4][2] The group composed the song together in writing sessions with an acoustic guitar, and was inspired by their inability to easily return home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to limit social interactions in the short-term, to be able to interact in the future.[5]
