Grace Chatto of Clean Bandit told the London Evening Standard that "Solo" was based on her own experience with a "difficult break-up". She also revealed that the song was recorded over FaceTime because the band was unable to schedule a studio session with Lovato. "It was crazy. She was in Alabama in a studio and we were over here. You know when the connection is bad and the speed fluctuates? We couldn't hear that well, but it turned out really well.
