The collaboration came together after Moliy recorded the initial track.

"When I was done recording the song, I just knew it needed another baddie, so I sent Tyla the record hoping she'd feel it," Moliy stated.

Tyla immediately connected with the song and recorded her verse before the two had even met in person.

Their bond was solidified upon their first meeting in New York City.

Tyla added, "I remember hearing 'Body Go' for the first time and thinking, 'Yeah, I need to be on this.' This one is special because it's so playful and light. It feels like you're outside with your girls, not thinking too hard, just living, just moving".
