The original lyrics to the song were also altered and shared references to who some believed were aimed at Gigi Hadid, who was in a relationship with him at the time. The original version included explicit lyrics which were changed due to because of the profanity.[3][4]

Following the release of the song, Little Mix were accused of copying the song "Ugly Heart", which had been released by the American girl group G.R.L., in 2014.

It happens all the time".
