Background
When talking about the song, Cooper said, "I’m pretty sure that the reason most guys pick up a guitar and write a song for the first time, it's usually down to a girl. 'Sing It With Me' is a song about just that. It's the idea of writing a song for somebody that you didn't quite have the courage to simply say hi to. It's a romanticised version of that I guess, only this time the guy gets the girl (for me in reality I'd likely record it 50 times, only to decide it’s terrible and scrap it). I wanted to feature an artist with an incredibly sweet voice and Astrid S fit the bill perfectly. I was so excited to hear her on the track and she definitely delivered. I tried my best to write a chorus that was almost as infectious as 'Baby Shark' but very quickly realised that it was impossible. Overall, I think it turned out pretty well."{{cite web|url=https://celebmix.com/jp-cooper-siwm-astrid-s/|title=JP Cooper returns with new single 'Sing It With Me' featuring Astrid S|website=celebmix.com|date=8 May 2019|accessdate=24 December 2019}}

We filmed it in Estonia with a brief for the location and the characters to all have a slight Wes Anderson feel, which I think the production company nailed. I’m usually quite nervous about making music videos. This is the first one of mine that I’ve watched back and smiled all the way through."{{cite web|url=https://www.idolator.com/7788819/jp-cooper-astrid-s-sing-it-with-me-video-review|title=» JP Cooper & Astrid S' "Sing It With Me" Video Is A '90s Love Story|website=Idolator|date=30 May 2019|accessdate=24 December 2019}}{{cite web|url=https://celebmix.com/jp-cooper-siwm-video/|title=JP Cooper and Astrid S release 'Sing It With Me' visual - CelebMix|website=celebmix.com|date=31 May 2019|accessdate=24 December 2019}}
