Release

The single was released on September 1, 2022,[1] as the band's first new material since founding member, long-term drummer and frontman Vic Fuentes' brother, Mike Fuentes left the band amidst sexual misconduct allegations in 2017.[2] It is the first single off the bands fifth studio album, The Jaws of Life, their first since 2016's Misadventures.

On April 7, 2023, 7-inch vinyl releases of the single were released through the band's website and Hot Topic.[3][4] The website edition is turquoise blue, limited to 1,500 copies,[3] while the Hot Topic edition is translucent orange, limited to 500 copies.[4]

As of September 2023, the song is the most-streamed track from The Jaws of Life on Spotify.[6] Shannon Shumaker wrote in Prelude Press that she appreciated its turn towards a more grunge-esque songwriting, as opposed to the post-hardcore style seen on their previous albums.[7]
