Songwriting camps help generate hits and build industry connections,Go to Songwriting Camp Glossary in Bali was the first time we really got to hang out,” Muri shared about the collaboration. “‘Shelter’ was an idea that started when we paired up to write together for a day.”

Lyrically exploring the feeling of finding a home in someone, the track features the lines, “With you I know where we will go / Anywhere out in the unknown / You make me feel don’t need no more / I got my answers I found (home).”
The song was composed by the two artists and mixed and mastered by Emil dela Rosa.
crwn described the track as “realizing the thing you’ve been looking for was already close to you the whole time.” He added, “That idea came about organically as we were laying down beats, violin riffs, and reflecting on where we were in our lives.”
