A pink limited edition 7" vinyl single was released for Record Store Day in 2015 on April 18, 2015. The single features the album version of the song and a remix.

It was revealed in March 2015 that the music video would be directed by Brink herself and shot in March after their European tour run. [2]
All lyrics are written by Maria Brink; all music is composed by Chris Howorth, Brink, and Kevin Churko.
