Background
Metal Injection stated that "it has all the ingredients for a great pop metal song that will surely be all over rock radio and SiriusXM Octane all this summer."[3] When asked about the fan response to the new single, and whether the bandmembers get nervous every time they are about to release new music, Lzzy said:
"It's kind of like purgatory, because you've kind of released something, but it's not all out there and some people have heard it. And the weirdest thing, 'cause we do pre… You don't expect the worst, but you're prepared for the worst, 'cause you never know — you put out something [and] everyone could hate it; I don't know. But it's been overwhelmingly positive, and I'm still, like, 'Where's the catch? What's happening here?' There were even some [positive] comments on Blabbermouth, which never happens, so I was, like, 'What's going on here?' [Laughs]"[11]
