There was a second recording mad with Peyton singing lead vocals and Rachel on backing vocals that was also released.
Background
The music was written by Archie and Holly in 2019 secretly as there was talk of them possibly getting back together. Archie had then started a collaboration with the artist Coco Bark, and she had some ideas for this song in particular. The song was tweaked and then Holly helped with lyrics as well. Holly recorded a version of the song that was just Keith, Archie, Holly and Mike McCoy in late 2019. This version has never been released or heard. The version is supposedly so good and emotional that at the end Holly left and asked Archie to erase it from the hard drive. Coco Bark recorded a version as well that was released promotionally in 2019 for her but was then taken down. In late 2020 while Archie was working on a side project with Bo Smith, he asked him to take a look at the song and see if he might want to sing it and they could add it to their EP. He did record a version, but it also was not released as it was decided they were scrapping their EP and were releasing their material as singles. The song was finally reapproached for the Double Trouble sessions and Rachel recorded a version of the song. She was not happy with her take and thought that someone else should sing it. JT decided he wanted to take a stab at it after listening to Bo's versions and the others. It was recorded in late August 2021. In late November pf 2021 a version was recorded with Peyton singing lead vocals and Rachel signing backup vocals that was released as well.
