Luca Guadagnino cast Apollo in the film with the intention of singing the song, so Reznor and Ross had written the framework of the song in English, before asking Apollo to come to their studio to work on and record the song. Within a few hours, he had written, contributed, and reconfigured things in the song (including his team engineering and translating the song into Spanish) and really honed in what he knew he wanted the song to be, impressing Reznor.[https://www.gq.com/story/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-on-queer]
After cutting the song from the film, Guadagnino suggested reworking it to be the end credits song. Reznor, however, felt that it tonally didn't fit tonally what the end credits should make the audience feel, and that led to Reznor and Ross composing a new song for the end credits, which became [[Vaster Than Empires]].[https://www.gq.com/story/trent-reznor-and-atticus-ross-on-queer]
