Writing and recording

Matoma heard "Make Me (Cry)" by Noah Cyrus and thought Cyrus' voice has "so much soul and personality", so reached out to her. The two worked apart, with Matoma based in Norway.[2] Matoma also said that with "Slow", he wanted to expand beyond his tropical house sound and "do something different from before" but still put out a "banger" before the album and tour.[3] He later said he wanted to make a song that was "future bass-inspired song with lots of bass and big drums in the chorus".[4]

Music

Paper called "Slow" a "party ballad".[5] Billboard described it as "uplifting, feel-good" and a "lover's pop anthem".[3]
