Jameela Jamil, Blake's partner, also contributed to the album's production. Jamil recently responded to backlash she got after being recognised on the album, calling her attackers "part of the problem of why women don't pursue producing." Blake shared this on Instagram and has received over 61k likes on the post.
Last night, the pair performed the song on US talk show ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’.
Commenters online have called this performance by the pair “melodious and profound” and “beautifully done”.
