It was released in 2 January 2013 through German label Poesie Musik, a sublabel of Get Physical Music. "My Head Is a Jungle" charted across Europe, having the most success in Italy and the United Kingdom, where it reached number 5.

A remix by MK not released on the original press received airplay in mid-2014, and is more popular by YouTube views than the original. ^[1]
