Lead vocalist Sharon den Adel confirmed on 18 February 2021 that Within Temptation were planning on releasing more standalone singles before the release of an entire album, as they had already done with "Entertain You" and "The Purge" during the COVID-19 pandemic period after they were forced to cancel the scheduled concerts due to safety measures.

[4] In an interview for German radio station Rock Antenne, den Adel commented that the band decided to invite Annisokay after the song was already completed.

According to the singer, the track had a metalcore instrumentation alongside the symphonic elements Within Temptation is known for.

As they considered that Annisokay also had the quality of transitiong throughout different metal subgerenes, without losing their metalcore essence, they opted to invite the band to contribute on the song.

When we had finished the song, we approached Annisokay if they wanted to record it together because we really liked it and felt that it would fit".
