Legend penned this track with Kanye West and Jeff Bhasker, the man behind much of Yeezy's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. The song features a vocal contribution from Seal. Legend explained during his NYC iHeart Radio Live show how his collaboration with the English singer-songwriter came to be: "Kanye was working at the Mercer hotel in New York. He was mainly working on Watch the Throne at that time, with Jay-Z," he recalled. "He invited me over every once in a while to work on my album, when he had time to pull himself away from Watch the Throne. He ran into Seal in the lobby of the Mercer and invited him up to the room where we were working. Seal and I, Kanye and Jeff Bhasker wrote the song together in that moment."
"Whenever you write a song especially early in the process of the album, you never know what's gonna happen with it but this one came out beautifully," Legend added.
