The song was first played at Ultra Music Festival in Miami in March 2017.[2] Starting from 11 October 2017, Kygo's team invited eleven celebrities, including Vin Diesel, The Chainsmokers, Ryan Tedder, Josephine Skriver, Ansel Elgort, Rickie Fowler, Rob Gronkowski, Logan Paul, Adrian Grenier, Jay Alvarrez and Juan Mata, to tell the story of their first love on social media, as a promotion of the single and album.[3]
Kat Bein of Billboard praised the pop rock song, describing it as "big, bold and bright as the sun".[1] Matthew Meadow of Your EDM opined that "the song is just as good as we remember it pumping out over the Miami crowd".[2]
