The duet version featuring American actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld was released on 21 January 2019 as the lead single from their self-titled debut studio album (2019).
=Background=
The band said that it "cross[ed] our minds while writing it as to how it might work as a duet -- with a female voice telling her side", and so they reached out to Steinfeld as they liked her songs "Starving" and "Let Me Go". The collaboration happened after Drax Project toured with singer Camila Cabello. A member of Cabello's team was good friends with Steinfeld, and after showing her the song, she loved it and asked the band to be a featured vocalist on the track.{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/nnycs5/drax-project-break-down-debut-album |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220815104744/https://www.mtv.com/news/nnycs5/drax-project-break-down-debut-album |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 15, 2022 |title=Drax Project Break Down Their Debut Album, From 'Woke Up Late' To 'Catching Feelings' |first=Madeline |last=Roth |date=27 September 2019 |website=MTV |access-date=8 January 2023}} iHeartRadio noted how the song "tells the story of sleeping in after a wild night out, realizing you're at someone else's house".
In March 2019, the version featuring Hailee Steinfeld was featured in an episode of CBS's MacGyver.{{cite web |title=MacGyver - S3E17 "Seeds + Permafrost + Feather" Music and List of Songs |url=https://www.what-song.com/Tvshow/193/MacGyver/e/113938 |website=What-song |accessdate=22 March 2019 |language=en-us}} In May 2019, a remix of the song by Sam Feldt was released.{{cite web |last=Thomas |first=Langston |title=PREMIERE - Sam Feldt Delivers Refreshing, Upbeat New Remix Of Drax Project's "Woke Up Late" Ft.
