Background

The song was previously leaked by fans on SoundCloud, YouTube and Reddit as a WAV file. It featured the vocals of the song's co-writer, Skyler Stonestreet, and was previously dubbed "Living High". Marshmello said via his Facebook page that the track's release was actually brought forward due to the track leaking online. He stated: "When you leak an artists unreleased music you mess up all plans for that song. It's really not cool and is the reason why we decided to change things up."{{Cite web|url=https://djmag.com/news/marshmellow-ookay-surprise-drop-noah-cyrus-collaboration-%E2%80%98chasing-colours%E2%80%99|title=Marshmello & Ookay surprise drop Noah Cyrus collaboration, 'Chasing Colors'|last=Rafter|first=Andrew|date=24 February 2017|website=DJ Magazine|access-date=2017-02-25}}
