Reception

Marissa Muller from Rolling Stone called the song "the highlight" from the Ice on the Dune album. 4ZZZ said, "EOTS hit the dance floor with this electro-pop single. All the pump, falsetto and Ratatat-esque synths to sink your stereosonic-teeth into."

Music video

The music video was filmed in South Korea in 2014 and saw Luke Steele walking around the streets of Seoul.

James Grebey from Spin magazine said: "It's a pretty upbeat look for a pretty upbeat song."
