It was released by The Goldmind Inc. and Atlantic Records on February 7, 2016, as a single.[1] The song is heard in a commercial for Amazon's Echo speaker, which features Elliott as well as actors Alec Baldwin and Jason Schwartzman.

Critical reception

In a retrospective review of the song, Steven J. Horowitz from Vulture called the song "a drumline knocker released via an Amazon Echo commercial. It's more in line with the late-era, party-starting fare of [Elliott's] catalogue, with bits of bounce thrown in for good measure."[3]
