The song's title was believed to be based on the hashtag and working title "The kids are coming" used by Neil Goss with his 2015 book Juvenile Delinquents and the 2020 movie of the same name.

[1][2] On 28 September 2019, Tones and I performed the song at the 2019 AFL Grand Final alongside "Dance Monkey".

[3] In a review of the EP, Zoë Radas from Stack said "This electrifying song is less a call-to-arms than an assurance of imminent arrival; Toni Watson (Tones and I) doesn't need to marshal anyone, because this tribe is already organically united in their shared beliefs.

[...] Watson displays a Sia-like confidence in the way she hurls, tweaks and growls her lyrics of damnation at the socio-political status quo".

[4] The music video was produced by Reprobates, directed by Alan Del Rio Ortiz and released on 25 September 2019.
