The song on Sunrise on 1 August 2008 to promote their latest release Truth, Beauty and a Picture of You.[1]
The Guardian described the song as, "A blokey rock song about leaving behind the life of a hellraiser for domestic bliss. Freedman sounds as if he is having fun as 'the mad king of it all', while Jak Housden provides the bouncy guitar."[2] The Sydney Morning Herald agreed the song was "bouncy" and said it was "sure to be a live singalong favourite".[3]
