Initially produced for the Lego toy series Bionicle and used in the promotional campaign of their 2008 Phantoka sets, the song was originally sung by Niels Brinck before a reproduction with fellow Danish singer Tine Midtgaard was recorded in 2011.

Recorded in late 2007, the version of "Gravity Hurts" made for Bionicle was produced by Eddie Simonsen as an alternative rock song and features Niels Brinck on vocals, Kasper Søderlund on all guitars, Maltha on keyboards and Jakob Gundel on drums.

As opposed to previous versions of "Gravity Hurts" which are alternative rock songs, this remix was produced as a classical symphonic piece and features orchestral arrangements from the Budapest Art Orchestra conducted by Peter Due.

A proposed cover for the release of the Tine Midgaard mix of "Gravity Hurts" was designed by Christian Faber, the concept artist responsible for all imagery concerning Cryoshell, in 2012.

For the versions featuring Brinck and Midgaard, Cryoshell ran a competition between October 25 – November 15, 2018, asking fans to create the official cover art for the singular releases of the two mixes and post them with the hashtag #GravityHurtsArt via social media.

As intended, the original version of "Gravity Hurts" was used as the primary musical score in the marketing campaign of the Lego Bionicle Phantoka toy wave of 2008; featuring in commercials, animated shorts and online games promoting the sets and characters.

It focuses on vocalist Niels Brinck recording the song in the studio with guitarist Kasper Søderlund and features clips from various animated Bionicle shorts released between 2001 and 2008.
