The freshly-released remix showcases Smith’s ability to put his own unique spin on a track while maintaining its essence. In an interview about the remix, Smith expressed his excitement at being asked to work on the song, calling it “gorgeous” and saying he had “a lot of fun slowing it down and spacing it out.”
