The single was released on May 2, 2025. Before its release, Tablo shared on his Instagram the story behind the delay in the song's release. He revealed that the track was recorded before the enlistment of the BTS member, but Tablo was hesitant to release it. He explained that while making the song, they both didn't realize how personal the lyrics were.

He further detailed in his video that he had no problem revealing his personal thoughts, but doing so with RM was a different story. So, he just sat with the song until the Wildflower singer reached out and inquired about the song. After Tablo explained his predicament, he asked him to release the song.
