It was released on 21 October 2016, through Big Beat Records and Neon Gold Records, as their first single to be released since their explosive debut album, 55. It features vocals from X Ambassadors' lead vocalist Sam Nelson Harris, who previously appeared with the duo in their 2013 single "Comfortable".
