Release and promotion

The song was debuted live on 16 January 2021 during the band's first performance of the Six60 Saturdays tour of New Zealand, [5] and was released just prior to the final performance of the tour in Hamilton. [6]

The song's music video features a number of cameos by New Zealand celebrities, including sportspeople Dan Carter and Joseph Parker, politician Chlöe Swarbrick, musicians Dave Dobbyn and Mitch James, and newscasters Mike McRoberts and Samantha Hayes.
