[3] The band performed the song live in October 2017 at the Loudwire Music Awards. [4]
The song's sound has been compared to the work of the bands Attack Attack! and 30 Seconds to Mars due to its "processed vocals and huge synth hooks". [5] The song has dense, layered singing, combining heavy guitar, keyboard, synthesizers, and violins. [6] Loudwire noted that the track would make a good single due to its "synth-driven, infinitely listenable melodic lamentations on the desire for connection, with Bates begging, 'Satellite are you here tonight? / Shine your light and set me free'". [7] [4] Multiple reviewers noted it as a standout track of the album. [8] [9] [6] [7]
