== Lyrics ==
Angel Dust: Till death do us part
But, we're already past that phase
This is a brand new start
And I think I deserve some praise
For the way that I am
Despite having overdosed
And ending up comatose
I don't give a damn
I've let my emotions go
Fuck being a sober hoe
This is the mantra
This is my life
You're playing with now
Till the end of the night
Surrounded by fire
The passion ignites
A hit of that Heaven and Hell
A helluva high
Angel Dust, Ara, and Cherri Bomb: I'm addicted to the madness
This hotel is my Atlantis
We're forever gonna have a fucking reason to sin
Let me leave my soul to burn and I'll be breathin' it in
I'm addicted to the feeling
Getting higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Cherri Bomb: Yeah, you fell in love
But, you fell deeper in this pit
While death rains from above
So count your blessings cause this is it
Ara: You're not letting it go
So, what if I misbehave?
It's what everybody craves
You already know
So, come if you're feeling brave
And fancy yourself a mate
Cherri Bomb: You want it, I got it
See what you like?
We could have it all
By the end of the night
Your money and power
My sinful delight
Ara and Cherri Bomb: A hit of that Heaven and Hell
A helluva high
Angel Dust, Ara, and Cherri Bomb: I'm addicted to the madness
This hotel is my Atlantis
Angel Dust: We're forever gonna have a fucking reason to sin
Cherri Bomb: Let me leave my soul to burn 
Ara: And I'll be breathing it in
Angel Dust, Ara, and Cherri Bomb: I'm addicted to the feeling
Gettin' higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Angel Dust: Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Angel Dust, Ara, and Cherri Bomb: I'm addicted to the feeling
Getting higher than the ceiling
And we're never gonna want this fucking feeling to end
Just concede and give in to your inner demons again
Angel Dust: I'm addicted to the sorrow
When the buzz ends by tomorrow
There's another rush of poison flowing into my veins
Giving me a dose of pleasure that resides by the pain
I'm addicted, I'm dependent
Looking awesome, feeling helpless
And I know I'm raisin' cane by every highway in Hell
Maybe things won't be so terrible inside this hotel

== Trivia ==
* Fat Nuggets makes his first animated appearance in the official music video of this song.
* During Cherri's scenes, a one-eyed figure makes an appearance. This figure bears an uncanny resemblance to the Demon Hunter, a character from Vivziepop's previous work Zoophobia. Though, it is unknown if it is the same character or a reference to them.
* It's revealed through the music video that Ara has a deep inferiority complex. In the short scene showing their hotel room, their journal is open, showing the words "I'm worthless" written in red pen.
** Additionally, the following are present in Ara's room: A framed picture of her, Cherri, and Angel. A bottle of alcohol. An empty package of ciagarettes. A used syringe and needle. And a stack of books.
*** It's greatly implied that Ara's mental health issues caused them to seek relief in the form of drugs and alcohol, and is confirmed when they're seen smoking a cigarette in "Overture".
* Travis is shown watching Angel Dust's performance amorously before Angel kicks him in the face.
* Several Impsonas of the SpindleHorse crew members make an appearance.
* An early reel design of Fat Nuggets taken from the prequel comic can be seen in a poster in Angel's hotel room during the after-credits scene.
* A remix album of the song is available on YouTube.
* The credits and epilogue use music from the VIP mix.
** The ending "Hazbin Hotel" logo was animated by Michael Boggs, who initially made the logo as just a fan animation.
* Austin Kalista, who was previously an animator for the SpindleHorse short "Holidaze", also helped work on this short. He previously made a series of Hazbin Hotel fan animations before being inquired by Vivziepop.
* According to Austin, he re-watched a scene in Disney's animated film, Mulan, in order to copy the way the smoke travelled from Angel's cigarette in the after-credits scene.
* The second chorus briefly acknowledges Angel's love of blobfish and angelfish as stated from a live stream, as it shows him and Cherri Bomb having fun in a club with an aquarium in the background that reaches the ceiling. Coincidentally, both a blobfish and three angelfish can be seen in one of the shots.
* In the original, Angel sings about how the hotel might not be as bad as he thought in the epilogue, while in the French dub, he sings about how he wishes to be redeemed and to be able to escape to Heaven. It is unknown if this is an easter egg, or just a mistranslation.
* From this music video onwards, Cherri has a slightly revamped design, having different tattoos on her right arm, her left glove having a different design, the right strap, along with the buttons to her skirt removed, new designs on both her shirt and skirt along with her left boot. Charlie also receives a new hairstyle at the end of the music video.
* Cécilia Goncalves made the designs of Dia and Summer. Also according to Cécilia, Summer was originally named Lulu but she changed it due to sounding too similar to another character's name.
** Cécilia also replied to a question about if the two were girlfriends, saying that she shouldn't decide that but would want to see them as such and being in an open relationship due to being sex workers.
* The line "heaven and hell" is a double entendre of another street term for pcp, aka angel dust.
* This song may reference the song "Poison", wherein the lyrics include "Addicted to this feeling".
** Additionally, the word "Poison" is mentioned in ADDICT in the lyrics "There's another rush of poison flowing into my veins".
* One of the lyrics Angel sings in this song is "Looking awesome, feeling helpless" which hints at "Masquerade" where he puts of a mask of confidence to hide his pain and suffering.
* Ara's crush on Cherri is foreshadowed by another page in their journal, that is shown to say "I think cherries are my favorite fruit."
