Contents

Background

The song was first released on September 19, 2017, [2] and was later serviced to Mainstream Rock radio on June 4, 2018. [3] It serves as the follow-up to the lead single, "Novacaine", which reached the Top 5 on Billboard Mainstream Rock songs earlier in the year. [4]

Before the song's release as a single, it had registered more than five million streams across various platforms. [5]

Lyrically, the song is about not getting too caught up in one's self to see the opportunities that the world has to offer. [6]

Music video

The song's music video was directed by Robert John Kley in Las Vegas. Describing its concept to Billboard Magazine, 10 Years drummer Brian Vodinh stated: "It's talking about someone who was in the circle for a long time, then is all of a sudden out of the circle. It's not really meant to be ugly; Because we had just gotten out of that situation it was something that was just on our minds and very much a part of the early writing sessions of this album, so it naturally made its way into the songwriting a bit. And I think the video is an honest depiction of the song and why we wrote it." [5]

The video premiered on Billboard on May 10, 2018. [7]
