How does UDP work if it is a connectionless protocol?

There are two main connection protocols: TCP and UDP, and the latter is a “connectionless” protocol, so how is data transferred if there is no established connection between sender and recipient?

My understanding is that UDP is a way of taking packets of data and attaching an address so that there isn’t a connection made, but it gets to where it’s going.
Sort of like mailing a letter versus calling someone on the phone (connection).
