Sam explained:
"I think those interactions between strangers in terms of a guy going up and pursuing
a lady or introducing himself or expressing his interest - that can get cliché at times.
It can get kind of sleazy and shallow at times when you think about, especially if it's in
a bar or a place that may not necessarily be as romantic as the next."
"Hopefully, the singer in this song and what he's saying overcomes some of those stereotypes,
and you can see past just a surface attraction and you can see that he's generally interested
in this girl who has just completely got his attention."
• Sam's half-spoken, half-sung delivery reflects the influence of '90s R&B on him.
During an interview he said:
"I listened to guys like
K-Ci & JoJo,
that '90s R&B thing really caught my ear.
R Kelly ...
Ginuwine,
112."
