Vera Blue said "I was shocked when I found out that oil drilling is going to happen off Australia's southern coast, in the Great Australian Bight... The beaches of my childhood could end up covered in oil, and the thriving animals in this incredible stretch of ocean would be done for... It's no use this magical place just being a memory we tell our grandkids about: we need to protect it, now, while we still have it. We need to keep the Great Australian Bight like we remember it."[4]

The music video was directed by Nicholas Colla and released on 7 February 2019 and features clips of Greenpeace activists on board Rainbow Warrior with powerful signage protesting oil, clips of the reef, and of Vera Blue dancing along to the track.[2]

Reception

Laura English of Music Feeds said "The song has that same dreamy kind of sound that flows through most of Vera Blue's discography."[2]
