Plum said: "Telstra asked me to be a part of this; I've never been a part of something like this before, so I thought it would be something really cool to do." Plum said that Flight Facilities sent her the song and that she and producer Ross James worked on the song in one day. Plum said: "I'm really happy with it! It's beautiful, it was easy to do because it's a beautiful piece of work."[8]
