Release

The song was released on February 17, 2017 along with the release of the short film documentary, "Smog of the Sea."[3] The song is featured in this film which features a one-week journey through the Sargasso Sea.[4] Along with the release of the song, he announced his 2017 Tour, and plans to release a new album in the summer.

Composition

Johnson says that he wrote the song about the pollution in the ocean, and that the "Smog of the Sea" documentary inspired him to write the song.[5] The main meaning of this song, is to be cautious to our environment.[6] The trip also inspired many other of his new songs from his album "All the Light Above it Too."[7] Johnson had almost completely finished all of the songs by the end of the trip and was ready to put them into a record.[8]

Live performance

The song has been performed during Jack's "All the Light Above it Too Tour" multiple times, along with "My Mind Is for Sale."[9]
