While playing the track on the background, Moffett added, "So as I get into the groove, it's a very simple track, then I started feeling the pulse of the groove and I did what was necessary for the song. To suit the song and the lyrics, I kept it simple, added my energy and articulation to the groove in the tracks."

He also felt that ending it just like that will not do it, adding a simple drum solo which completed his version.
