Background

The song was released as the second single, after "Let You Down", from the band's seventh studio album, Poison the Parish.[2] The song's music video was released on August 10, 2017.[3] Its music video was noted for its change in direction from usual - while typically serious, the video was described as "comedic" and "carefree".[2] The video features the band - vocalist and guitarist Shaun Morgan, bassist Dale Stewart, touring guitarist Clint Lowery and drummer John Humphrey - performing in a lighthearted manner, with huge grins in peaceful backdrops like forests and beaches.[4] As the song progresses, the scenery darkens, while the band members begin to look menacing, covered in dirt and blood,[4] and zombie-fied. Also, the band smashed their instruments.[5][6]
