• Ellie said the song was inspired by a time she was:
"on tour, drinking too much and going off the rails."
• The song has been viewed as a response to
Ed Sheeran's
Don't,
which was supposedly about her.
(Allegedly about
her cheating on him with
One Direction's
Niall Horan while they were all in the same hotel in the summer of 2013.)

Ellie said of Vegas:
"It's a weird place,. We went to this old casino and filmed stuff in there. I worked with the director,
Emil, I worked with him before with Calvin Harris. He's a friend of mine and we wanted to do something
really mad. We wanted to ride some horses, and there's a gangster who is a not very good guy.
It's kind of got a Thelma & Louise thing about it. "
She also said:
"I did do my own stunts, I'm pretty good like that. As long as it doesn't involve a bungee jump.
That's a bit too far."
