Background

About the sound of the track, Krewella stated:

"We went back to the roots for that one,” says Yasmine. “The reason why we fell in love with dance music is people like Daft Punk, Justice, MSTRKRFT ... all those people were doing this grungy, punk-y dance stuff and we wanted to channel that for the new song that’s out."[2]

Music video

The video for the song was released onto YouTube on July 22, 2015.[3] It features cameo performances from 3LAU and Rory Kramer. The video sheds light on issues such as self-harm and suicide. The music video was directed by Rory Kramer and uploaded to their official Vevo channel.[4]

gollark: Sure, why not.
gollark: This is perfectly valid Haskell.
gollark: ```haskell(....) :: ((a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> c) -> (((a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a1 -> b) -> (a2 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> a1 -> (a1 -> b) -> c) -> a2 -> c(....) = ((.) .)<$> (*>) (. (.)) (<*>) . ((.) >>= (. ((.) . (.)))) . ((>>) >> (<$>))```Another pointless combinator.
gollark: Because it's useful to nobody?
gollark: And since the definition is entirely free of points ("pointless") it must be good.
