The single marked a comeback for Deacon Blue after a six-year hiatus, with their last release in 2006 with "Bigger Than Dynamite".

Al Fox of the BBC said that "The lead single and title track provides the promise of optimistic, sunlit, indie-flecked arrangements, which does follow through for the most part.

It's also ironic because Deacon Blue were never hipsters and no amount of sales would make them hip; but that's probably why we loved them so much".

Realising he is trapped and cannot escape, the young boy being chased dives backwards off the diving board fully clothed, with the video ending showing the boy in the pool smiling.
