“The phrase ‘Perfect Speed’ really resonated with me when Brad brought over the beat with that working title. I sat on those two words and listened to the instrumental about a hundred times (no lie). I guess I took more of a ‘stream of consciousness’ approach and wrote what was already there and what felt right. When the words started to form, the melody easily followed.” – Kristin Henry

“Early on, the working title of the song was ‘Perfect Speed’ because I had been experimenting with beats per minute settings that naturally evoked a response from me. Everybody’s sensibility is different about tempo, but it kept recurring that my sweet spot seemed to be 88bpm. Perfect Speed.”– Brad Boettger
