Background
The lead single for the third studio album was originally planned for November release as stated by Anna on numerous occasions.

She explained that she wanted to build up a public image of the album before it was released. The single was written and recorded in early 2013 and announced as the single in mid-July which was much surprise to fans.

Music Video
