Songfacts®:

  • Focused around a spiraling arpeggio, this song finds a scarred SOHN coming out of emotional turmoil. It was first released online on September 11, 2013 before being made available on limited 12" vinyl on November 25, 2013.
  • The music video was directed by Olivier Groulx, who also filmed Arcade Fire "Black Mirror" and Bastille's "Bad Blood" clips. It was shot in and around London with actors Richard Mason and Jennifer McKay.
  • SOHN accused Audi of taking a free ride with his music and not crediting him on an advert promoting its A3 Sportback model, whose soundtrack sounds a lot like this song. Tweeting at the car maker, he said: "Feels like you may have 'borrowed' from one of my tunes... can I 'borrow' one of your cars?"
