Background

After a two years break to focus on his family, Example started going to the studio every day for two weeks. He wrote "The Answer" along with three other upcoming singles during the space of a week as he felt more inspired by the birth of his second child.[4] The song is taken from his upcoming sixth studio album, which he describes as "a collection of songs I want to still be performing ten years from now".[1][3] He has already written 50 songs for the project, and as of January 2018, Example had the album finished for over a year and is waiting for his label to allow him to put it out.[5]

Music video

The music video, directed by Dominic O'Riordan and produced by Hannah Bilverstone, was premiered the same day the song was released, on 19 January 2018.[1][2]

Example performed the song on The Last Leg on 16 February 2018.[6]

gollark: `if (x==0 && y==0)`, assuming you're using something C-like.
gollark: So I checked further, and it seems that most of them use non-SIMD instruction sets but also run threads in groups so it's effectively SIMD anyway.I'm probably missing something but I don't see why you would do that.
gollark: As far as I know recent designs have moved away from that, and probably just magically schedule threads really well.
gollark: I don't know many of the underlying implementation details.
gollark: They do have lots of memory bandwidth.
