About the song
The song premiered on Sirius Octane on September 8, 2014 and released digitally on September 9, 2014. The song follows the same style as the band's previous effort, Blood, with hard crunching guitars and melodic soaring choruses. Singer Maria Brink exercises both her clean singing and heavy screams throughout the song pleading in the chorus, "Am I beautiful as I tear you to pieces..." Brink says of the song, "It's about when somebody loves you for everything you are," she states. "They love you even for what you consider flaws. It's that vision of people who are super eccentric and twisted, but they're perfect like that because that's who they are. They're meant to be."

A Best Buy exclusive release of the single (with "Big Bad Wolf") was released in the U.S. on November 4, 2014.

The music video was directed by Robert Kley and Maria Brink and premiered on their Facebook page October 20, 2014.
