Background and release

Sultana told Triple J they wrote the song "..about the death of my ego, really. [I] Tried to just come back down and connect to myself and just be present, because when you're busy all the time you kind of get caught up in this whole mist and you forget to stop and be still and you get carried away thinking that you have to do all these things all the time when you probably just should be instead of do.
