On February 6, 2022, Why Don’t We member posted a snippet of an unreleased track on his TikTok. Before singing the song, he said, “Just wrote a song about my ex. You’ll never guess which one.”

In November 2021, Daniel and his girlfriend Franny Arrieta broke up. In the following months, the pair would indirectly tweet and post about one another, before Daniel posted the TikTok.

Franny went on to duet the TikTok, claiming that Daniel had broken up with her, contrary to the song’s content.

On February 11, 2022, Daniel was stopped by The Hollywood Fix and asked about the relationship. He shared:

I made a song about her, I don’t know if she liked it necessarily. It’s called “Annie.” She won’t text me back but hopefully, if she sees this maybe it’ll help. […] I made a song that was dear to me, it was very honest about where I was at.
