“The song came to me and it really just connected with me, it really resonated with me. I thought it was cool, I just thought that kids and teenagers feel like that,” Asher told J-14 of the song, which is about meeting your soulmate.

He continued, “It was cool because prior to doing ‘Chills’ we had a [different] song locked in for the single. It’s crazy because we were like, ‘We have the next single, this can wait,’ and I was like, ‘No. I love this song. It connects with fans, they’ll love it. Let’s try it.’ So I went in and recorded it. It was a great session and I felt really happy about it…It really connected with me — there’s certain times in my life where I feel like that!”
