"Love goes in many directions. Sometimes you fall in love, fall out of love, and then find your way back in love again," KC tells PopCrush. "You break up, you make up, and you start all over again. Love goes up and down. Love goes round and round."

A Full-Circle Collaboration

After years of performing together on stages around the world, the new single marks KC and NYNE's first official recording collaboration.

"The song is definitely a testament to the sphere of emotion that comes with relationships," NYNE tells PopCrush. "At any point, it's always ok to dance. It's a blessing and an honor to be able to work with a beast of the '70s and '80s."
