The song marks the group's musical comeback, and their first musical release since 2012's "DoYaThing".

Music video
The music video was uploaded to the UPROXX official YouTube channel on 19 January 2017. The video has Clementine singing in a gold-played elevator, and features a cameo from Gorillaz lead singer 2D, who appears in puppet form at various points through the song.[6] Various video clips, including from Animal Farm, Fantastic Planet, Village of the Damned, a spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood, CCTV footage of an evil clown, documentary footage of tribal dancers, and a procession wearing white capirotes, are projected behind Clementine. The video ends abruptly with a clip from the episode "Karate Choppers" of the TV series SpongeBob SquarePants,[7] although this is not present on the album version.
