Modestep had previously performed this song to open their set when supporting Lostprophets on their spring UK tour.

Just before the song was aired, Tony Friend revealed in an interview that Modestep hoped to release their debut album on 3 September 2012.

Despite this the album was still scheduled and a world tour is expected with the two new members, Pat Lundy (ex-drummer of the band Funeral For A Friend) and Kyle Deek (age 22) who joined in the spring of 2014.

After a brief hiatus, Modestep came back strong with "Living For The Weekend," a song that released on British record label Never Say Die.

In 2022, Modestep released an EP on Disciple Recordings entitled "Diamonds", which featured collaborations with artists such as Automhate, Dr Ushuu, Jiqui, Nosphere and Oddprophet.

They have been placed next to bands such as Pendulum and The Prodigy due to their musical style, however they are able to play along with other artists such as The Script, Skrillex, Ed Sheeran and Flux Pavilion.
