"I wrote the lyrics thinking about how nice falling in love is especially around the holidays, you're excited but then you're also skeptical because the season is fleeting and so are the flings of holidays," Maka tells <em>OkayAfrica</em>. "So it's a song where I hope I not only to fall in love during the season but for it lto ast forever. I feel everyone will relate to that."
