The song was debuted on June 25, 2017, BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show With Daniel P  Carter", five days ahead of its release on the band's sixth studio album, "Hydrograd", on June 30. A music video for the album was released on September 13, 2017, when the song was released to rock radio as a single.

The video features a cameo appearance by glam rock band Steel Panther. Themes and composition. The song has been described as hard rock. "Loudwire" described  its sound as "an energetic rocker that sways from a light, moody opening to a hook-laden rager." The song was recorded live in the studio, without any auto-tune, pitch correction, or additional programming involved. AllMusic described the song as having "Beatles-esq verse melody" and an arena rock chorus. Reception. MetalSucks praised the song for being "a really good song, a slower number at first that opens up into a rocker, and it only solidifies my impression of "Hydrograd". Stone Sour don’t get a ton of respect from the heavier spectrum of the metal community, but they ’ve been pumping out incredibly solid hard rock jams album after album for nearly two decades now. How about a little respect?" Metal Injection was less positive about the song, stating that it "has a decent chorus but the verses have that "annoying earworm" quality that remind you of 90's one hit wonders like Marcy Playground and [Harvey Danger's] "Flagpole Sitta".
