Recorded in a single take, a new method for the 25-year-old Londoner, the song draws inspiration from the melodic styles of British superstars such as David Bowie and The Beatles, and lyrically hones in on subjects Olivia Dean has touched upon before – love, growth and change.

"Time was born out of the frustrating feeling of not having enough of it," Dean explains. "It's about wanting to be ambitious, experience the world, and do everything while still feeling connected to the ones you love. It's a real balancing act, especially as a woman. So, the song moves between these two worlds, dreamy and serene, then wild and chaotic, as life often is!"
