The song was premiered by Armin van Buuren during his mainstage set at Ultra Music Festival 2024, where its high-energy drop and emotional melody quickly made it a fan favorite. According to quotes from both artists, the collaboration began after Armin van Buuren sent Swire the instrumental track, and Swire knew instantly that he wanted to sing on it. [3]

The remix fuses Pendulum's signature high-energy sound with Armin's euphoric elements. The track was also a major festival highlight, with an earlier version being premiered by Armin van Buuren at a live show, further building anticipation for its official release. [4] [5] [6]
