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]

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: I don't think the body thing makes much sense anyway, inasmuch as the genetic material in the fetus doesn't actually match exactly what either parent has but is some mixed-up combination of them.
gollark: That's a legal/ethical distinction rather than a scientific one.
gollark: It is the case that I contain genetic material from my parents. It doesn't have to be the case that, because of that, I'm considered part of their body or something.
