The track is a combination of the rock&roll genre and the newly popular grunge style, the energy is undeniable and suits Yungblud’s weird! track-list precisely. The three artists have a known friendship and their collaboration is a dream come true for fans.
This is not the first time Yungblud has worked with these artists, having released the single 11 Minutes with Halsey and Travis Barker in 2019 to tremendous success. In the same year, I Think I’m OKAY was released by Machine Gun Kelly, another collaboration which featured Barker as well.
Throughout 2020, among the announcement of his upcoming album and the release of numerous singles and music videos for such, Yungblud was also nominated for four NME awards: Best British Solo Act, Best Music Video for Original Me, Best Solo Act in the World and Best Collaboration also for Original Me. He went on to win “Best Music Video” for Original Me.
On 4 March 2020, Yungblud announced he cancelled his Asia tour due to safety concern surrounding the global pandemic Covid-19. All UK tour dates will go ahead as of now for the spring, summer and fall of 2021, assuming no more cancellations are made.
