[4] After their performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2016, Creeper "vanished" from the public eye and began sharing clues for fans to follow in order to obtain information regarding the band.
[5] The clues eventually led to an answerphone message which detailed "the disappearance of James Scythe", the fictional subject of several songs to be featured on the album.
[2] It was made available as a digital download the following day, when it was also given free to customers who pre-ordered Eternity, in Your Arms on the official Roadrunner Records store.
Tom Connick of DIY claimed that the song "takes every facet of Creeper's delicately constructed world and polishes it to a blinding shine", hailing it as "nothing short of dazzling".
[10] Upset magazine's Ali Shutler described "Suzanne" as "Snarling and built for mass participation but doused in young romance and a touch of magic", claiming that it "sees Creeper reaching scary new heights all over again".
