Lyrically the song centers around self-confidence and has been referred to as an "ode to masturbation" in the media. The song received positive reviews from contemporary music critics who praised Steinfeld's voice and style, comparing her positively to Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. The song also found commercial success, peaking at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, number six on the US Dance Club Songs chart, and number 15 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart.
Steinfeld gained recognition as a singer after performing "Flashlight" in Pitch Perfect 2. which she also starred in. She signed with Republic Records beginning of 2016. Steinfeld's debut single was released on August 7, 2015. Billboard noted that:
"The 18-year-old, who showed the world her chops as the standout newcomer in Pitch Perfect 2, brings all the self-confidence a girl could need to the empowering anthem."
Steinfeld herself has stated that the meaning of the song is intended to be interpreted by the listener, "but for me, it's an empowerment record and it’s ultimately about taking care of yourself and indulging yourself, whether that be emotionally or physically or with material things." Steinfeld noted in an interview with MTV that "there is that sense of fearlessness, which I think kind of came from that word exactly: just being fearless and being able to kind of put myself out there".
The song peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, number six on the US Dance Club Songs chart, and number 15 on the Billboard Pop Songs chart. On the latter, the song debuted at number 27, marking the highest debut for a solo female artist on the chart in 17 years, since Natalie Imbruglia's single "Torn" entered at number 26 in 1998.

In a review of the film, Insider writer Kim Renfro commented that "the anthem carried throughout the movie" and that the song "drives the message home". The song has also been played in Love Island, DC's Stargirl, How to Be Single, and at World of Dance events.
The accompanying music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, was released on August 14, 2015. The video shows Steinfeld dancing through Los Angeles with several other people.
