The song was released on March 23, 2015 as the lead single on the band's fifth studio album, Dark Before Dawn.

The track marks the band's first release since the start of an extended hiatus entered upon in mid-2010, and is also the first recording to feature a different lineup alongside singer, writer, and guitarist Benjamin Burnley.

Loudwire's Chad Childers stated the song is "stylistically true" to the band's past content,[2] and Dominique Kollie of Moargeek said "the song features the band's signature sound of metal-driven riffs coupled with soft hooks that maintain its angst-filled energy".

[4] Metal Insider's Bran Teitelman associates the song with "the band's melodic mainstream hard rock".

[7] On March 23, it became available as an automatic download with the pre-order of Dark Before Dawn,[8] but was also dispersed via rock radio and other media.
