Emerging initially as a teenage sensation on YouTube during the closing years of the 2000s, Canadian pop singer-songwriter Dan Talevski resurfaced in 2015 via his successful track "Guilty as Sin," and followed this with the romantic synth-pop number "Knock Me Off My Feet" on his 2017 EP High Times, issued through eOne Canada.

Georgetown, Ontario, served as the birthplace and childhood home for Talevski, who first gained widespread attention in his adolescent years after a 2007 clip of him performing Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around... Comes Around" achieved viral status. He sustained momentum by posting additional pop covers on his expanding channel and made his concert debut in 2009, supporting the Canadian dates of the Backstreet Boys' world tour. The following year brought a contract with Interscope Records along with the release of his first single, "Do It Again," which included a feature from American rapper Soulja Boy. High-profile collaborations with producers such as will.i.am and Timbaland marked this phase, yet Talevski soon grew dissatisfied with major-label constraints and returned from Los Angeles to Toronto, devoting several years to reclaiming artistic direction.

His renewed chapter opened in 2015 upon signing with eOne Music in Canada and unveiling "Guilty as Sin," a release that displayed greater maturity in its pop approach and peaked at number 64 on the Canadian pop charts. Another hit arrived in 2016 with the memorable "Knock Me Off My Feet." Both tracks, together with later singles including "Birthday Suit" and "Papers" featuring Aleesia, appeared on the 2017 EP High Times. Talevski continued with "The Wire" in 2018 and "Home Alone" the next year.
