On the creation of the song, DEF LEPPARD lead singer Joe Elliott shares: “This song’s been an amazing journey from concept to conclusion. I said to Phil (Collen, DEF LEPPARD guitarist) one day, ‘I’ve got this idea for a lyric where the narrator is at absolute rock bottom and wants to rise up to a higher level. Do you have a musical piece that might match with that?’ And he said, ‘As it happens, yes I do.'”

Collen adds: “I had this riff, this idea for a song a while ago actually, so when Joe came to me I created this drum loop based with a tribal sound and it fit perfectly with this other arrangement I had. I sent it to Joe and it was like magic — he sang straight over the top of it. And that’s how the song was formed. Then we gave it to Ronan (McHugh) who’d done a proper drum loop with different sounds. It all started gelling and just sounded like a powerful chant. We love it. It’s hard rock for us. It’s got a bit more of an ‘oomph’ than stuff we’ve been doing for a while. It’s kind of magical.”

In May 2022, DEF LEPPARD released their twelfth studio album “Diamond Star Halos”. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Apple, Amazon Music and Billboard‘s Hard Rock charts, and scored a Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the band’s eighth Top 10 album of their career. Globally, it notched numerous Top 10 chart entries, including a Top 5 debut in the U.K. Following this success, the band released their 13th studio album “Drastic Symphonies” with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 2023, which charted at No. 4 in the U.K. — their highest U.K. chart entry in over 32 years — and spent an impressive 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Current Classical chart.
