Before the song was released, Iain told where the title of the song came from and explained its meaning.
“Tom and Jerry was the name I used when I saved my first voice memo with this song idea. ‘And if you ever come through, which I doubt you will, I’ll run away with you.’ From that moment on, the adventure began in bringing that feeling to life,” John shared on Instagram.
He continued, “I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating – I get to work with an incredibly talented and dedicated group of artists who will stop at nothing until the sound comes into focus and becomes a picture. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, but first, it’s important that you know who contributed to this track.”
John co-wrote and co-produced the track with Blake Slatkinand the song marks the first release on his new label, Sob Rock Records.
The musician’s new record label is in partnership with Mercury Records.
“Working with Tyler Arnold and the talented team at Mercury Records has already been a great partnership,” he said in a statement, via THR. “The journey from creative vision to execution has never been easier or more rewarding. I feel inspired, and I’m excited for what’s to come.”
