2017年7月30日,在明日世界电子音乐节的主舞台上,盖瑞斯邀请库塔首次演唱了《遥不可及》。歌曲的最初版本由英国歌手艾丽·高登 担任女声伴唱[ 2] [ 3] 。8月21日,在伊维萨岛 的一次表演中,盖瑞斯和库塔又一次演唱了该歌曲[ 4] 。在Instagram 上,有人上传了一段由展台内人员拍摄的短片[ 5] [ 6] 。在演出前,盖瑞斯向Capital FM 介绍了这首歌,认为其“非常适合电台”并将很快发行[ 7] 。11月19日,盖瑞斯通过Instagram Stories发布了一个简短的《遥不可及》录音室预告片,并暗示将在不久发行[ 8] [ 9] 。
11月22日,盖瑞斯在Twitter 上回复艾丽·高登粉丝时透露,高登将不再为《遥不可及》献唱,艾丽·高登在Twitter上对盖瑞斯的预告片进行了评论[ 10] 。高登在一系列推文中承认,她的管理层和唱片公司都很不满,因为盖瑞斯在明日世界电子音乐节演唱了这首歌,而她甚至还没听过最终版本,这导致了她的人声从曲目上被删去,但她强调她不是幕后推手[ 11] [ 12] 。她在Twitter上写道,盖瑞斯“她不想发行歌曲”的声明是“完全虚假和不公平的”[ 13] [ 14] 。
11月26日,盖瑞斯在Twitter 上回复粉丝关于哪首歌曲首先发行的问题时,证实了《遥不可及》将和AREA21 歌曲《Glad You Came》于同一天发行[ 15] [ 16] 。1月29日,盖瑞斯在社交媒体上发布了官方预告片,透露了歌曲的发行日期及伴唱歌手:杰米·斯科特(Jamie Scott)和罗米·迪亚(Romy Dya),后者曾在《遥不可及》的演示版中献唱[ 17] 。
《公告牌 》的凯特·贝因(Kat Bein)称《遥不可及》是“一首优美的未来流行歌曲”。他赞扬称Dya提供了一场“脆弱但强大”的表演[ 18] 。《Your EDM》的马修·梅多(Matthew Meadow)也写道,Dya和斯科特做了一项“了不起的工作”,让听众们激情澎湃。他批评鼓点缺乏独创性,称之为《害怕寂寞 2.0》[ 19] 。《EDM Sauce》的埃里克也给出了类似的评论,他写道:“没有(艾丽·高登),这首歌很可能不会获得同程度的成功,因为没有什么绝对的独创性。”他还写道,这首歌“具有巨大的主流吸引力”,并且“正是美国广播观众目前所期待发行的”[ 20] 。
《遥不可及》的伴奏音乐视频由达米安·卡什尼亚(Damian Karsznia)导演并制作。故事描述了一对曾经相爱的年轻夫妇,他们正在为结束他们的关系而挣扎[ 21] 。
截至2020年8月,音乐视频的浏览量超过2.21亿次[ 22] 。
