Background

"While the first melody and chords for this song were created in about 20 minutes, it took about two years to finally complete. The idea came to me when I was stranded in Toronto; Vicetone was having trouble traveling and had to stay in Canada for a day. While we were in the hotel, I started on my first idea of using guitar chords in a dance song. When we finally got home, we spent a lot of time trying to make the rock sound better. When we finished the song and sent it to the label, it did not have vocals, but Monstercat loved it and wanted to release it. They suggested that Cozi sing it. I sent the song to Cosey and about a week or two later she sent the first vocal demo." [2]

Reception

Billboard says of the song: "Initially the duo surrounds Cozi Zuehlsdorff's voice with pleasing sounds – warm, gurgling synths – but the hook sweeps in with gnarled metallic force, adding a shade of menace to the singer's warning". [2]
