## Background

On October 23, 2017, Walker released a trailer for the single. Described as "an action-packed adventure of epic proportion" and "a real roller coaster affair" by critics, it features a variety of subplots, including romance, kidnapping, cult-like burials, "an Alan Walker-branded time capsule and explosions", as well as "flaming torches, desert landscapes, welded metal and a digital timer". On October 25, 2017, Walker revealed features on the song via social media.

Walker offered in a press release: "With this record I got the opportunity to collaborate with some amazing artists. Noah Cyrus' voice is absolutely incredible! Ever since I first heard the topline, I've been in love with it and can't wait for my fans to hear it as well. It has a refreshing production that still fits well within my signature sound, which is important for me to maintain as I evolve as an artist." Cyrus added: "I've loved this record since the moment I heard it. It's amazing to be a part of this song with such a badass dude and it's really incredible to be a part of this project."

## Critical reception

Kat Bein of Billboard wrote: "The track kicks off with glimmering acoustic strums and finger-snaps, all leading up to a bouncy, anthemic drop."Matthew Meadow of Your EDM felt "the drop is still characteristically Walker", and appreciates that "the influence from [Digital Farm Animals] is noticeable" Kevin Apaza of Direct Lyrics praised Walker for "gives listeners a counterbalance in the form of an uplifting electro pop beat and drops" despite the "rather sad" lyrics Erik of EDM Sauce wrote a mixed review of the song, saying that the song has "a more laid back almost tropical feeling", which he opined as "something like Kygo might release". He also praised Cyrus for "providing gorgeous vocals throughout". He concluded by deeming the song "a lesser known, forgettable release" from Walker.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Noah Cyrus]

What's the trick? I wish I knew

I'm so done with thinking through all the things I could've been

And I know you wonder too

All it takes is that one look you do and I run right back to you

You crossed the line and it's time to say "F" you

What's the point in saying that when you know how I'll react?

You think you can just take it back, but shit just don't work like that

You're the drug that I'm addicted to, and I want you so bad

Guess I'm stuck with you, and that's that

[Chorus: Noah Cyrus]

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever

When it don't work out for the better

If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye

When it all falls down, when it all falls down

I'll be fine, I'll be fine

You're the drug that I'm addicted to

And I want you so bad, but I'll be fine

[Verse 2: Juliander & Noah Cyrus]

Why we fight? I don't know

We say what hurts the most

Oh, I tried staying cold, but you take it personal

All these firing shots and making ground

It's way too hard to cope, but I still can't let you go

[Chorus: Noah Cyrus & Juliander]

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever

When it don't work out for the better

If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye

When it all falls down, when it all falls down

I'll be fine, I'll be fine

You're the drug that I'm addicted to and I want you so bad

But I'll be fine

[Bridge]

I'll be fine-ine-fine, fine-ine-ine

I'll be fine-ine-fine, fine-ine-ine

I'll be fine-ine-fine, fine-ine-ine

I'll be fine-ine-fine, fine

[Chorus: Noah Cyrus & Juliander, (Noah Cyrus, Juliander)]

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever

(Then whatever, babe)

When it don't work out for the better (For the better)

If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye

When it all falls down (When it all, when it all)

When it all falls down (When it all falls down)

I'll be fine (Fine, fine, fine), I'll be fine (I'll be fine)

You're the drug that I'm addicted to and I want you so bad

But I'll be fine (I'll be fine), and that's that
