About working with Meghan Trainor, Kaskade said that "when the opportunity came to work with her it was an easy yes for me. I knew we could put something together that would be fun, meaningful and above all, sticky enough that people can’t help but sing it after one listen".[2] While the former stated that "it was a dream come true".[2]
Kaskade announced the collaboration in a post to social media on June 10, 2019.[3] A snippet of the song was previewed a few days later.[4]
Critical reception
Idolator's Mike Wass wrote that the electropop song finds Trainor "in a typically feisty mood as she lays down the law to a no-good boyfriend", adding that "by the time we reach the chorus, Meghan has had enough".[5] Bella Bagshaw of Dancing Astronaut opined that "Kaskade kicks his digestibility up a notch on" it, and that "the track's ricocheting synth line and fluttering, pitched-up vocal chops ensconce the track like celebratory glitter".[6]
Music video
An accompanying animated video for "With You" was released on July 8, 2019. The visual sees Trainor and Kaskade explore a psychedelic outer space, flying a spaceship and crashing on rocky terrain populated by three-eyed cats.[7] According to Billboard's Kat Bein, "it's a psychedelic trip through the single's bouncy synth rhythm".[8] The Romeo Salazar-directed official music video was released on August 15, 2019.[9]
