"Slam", as well as the "Prelude" track from Hold Your Colour, samples spoken word sections from the Headhunterz song "Rock Civilization".

The B-side track, "Out Here", is one of the few break songs included in Hold Your Colour (as well as "Fasten Your Seatbelt" from the previous single).

Under the production of Creative Wrkz and co-directed by Teebone and Adam Brown, it was released in 2005 and last a total length of four minutes and nineteen seconds (4:19).

The video is about a man (John Dough played by actor Paul Nicholls) wearing a suit and holding a duffel bag (as seen in the CD single cover) who, after taking out a copy of Hold Your Colour and putting a CD of "Slam" into his portable stereo, is seen dancing in public in and around the Soho area of London with his suit off and his tie wrapped around his head.

In the end of the video, where the man is wearing a Pendulum / Breakbeat Kaos shirt, he gets his stereo and his bag stolen; in an attempt to try to get them back, the man accidentally slams into a street pole, ending the song.
