Background

Series creator Bryan Fuller, who had contacted her in November 2014, [2] described the song (composed by Siouxsie with Brian Reitzell) as "epic". [3] Reitzell had previously worked for Siouxsie in 2006 for the Marie Antoinette soundtrack when he re-orchestrated the introduction of Siouxsie and the Banshees's debut single "Hong Kong Garden" with strings players for Sofia Coppola's film.

On recording the song, Siouxsie has stated:

"Since those wonderful shows at The Royal Festival Hall in 2013, it's been a frustrating stop start to feed my soul and make some new music. Then along came a tasty morsel from Brian Reitzell working on the soundtrack for the final Hannibal series. I was already a huge fan and before I knew it, I was taking a nibble out of Hannibal and getting stuck in. Thank you Hannibal – at long last my appetite is back again." [4]
