On May 30, 2014, Fifth Harmony played a teaser snippet of the track near the end of their performance at the Kiss 108 FM Concert in Boston. The song was later confirmed for their debut album, set to be released in fall 2014.

Speaking to MTV, Fifth Harmony stated that "the whole point of this song is for girls who are our age to turn it on and feel confident and empowered because at this age being insecure is such a common occurrence. So I think when you turn that song on, you feel sexy and feel good about yourself." On the Today Show where the girl group performed the single live for the first time in its entirety. After the performance they said; "We feel like so many people are competitive with one another and we want to bring everyone together and have people encourage one another. That's what it's all about".
