Meeting in L.A on a co-writing session, the pair were put together by the people that ran their publishing companies.

Making up The Midnight are Tyler Lyle (a songwriter from the Deep South) and Tim McEwan (a producer from Denmark), who join Headliner on a call from their homes in Atlanta and L.A, respectively.
