The song opens with Wilson's shouting intro, and then his verse begins. As the drop ends, Wilson sings his verse again, however, it is sped up, and more music is played by Showtek and We Are Loud! and as the verse comes to an end, Wilson holds his last word in an autotuned voice and the drop begins.
