About Like It Is

"Like It Is" is a song by Norwegian DJ Kygo, Swedish singer Zara Larsson and American rapper Tyga. It was released through Sony Music on 27 March 2020 as the second single from Kygo's third studio album Golden Hour. The song was originally written by English singer Dua Lipa and Ritual member Gerard O' Connell for her debut album. A snippet first appeared on her Instagram on May 16, with the full song leaking on May 26. The song was bought by Kygo after the leak, who invited Zara Larsson and Tyga to collaborate on the track.

Kygo announced on social media on 24 March 2020 that his third studio album was finished, and that the lead single would be out on Friday of that week. Kygo also talked about spending time at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic and "staying positive in these tough times"; Dancing Astronaut felt that Kygo's announcement came at a time when those in self-quarantine are "hoping to bring some light during these dark quarantine days".
