In an interview with BBC Breakfast on 11 June 2012 she said that the song was inspired from when she sings the national anthem of Scotland at Hampden Park, she also said she is lucky that she gets asked to perform before all of Scotland's international matches. Macdonald says it is an honor and it is something that she always gets nervous about, but it is such a buzz afterwards that she loves to do it.

On 7 July 2012 she performed the song at T in the Park in the King Tut's Wah Wah Tent. On 7 August 2012 she performed the song on daily entertainment show Beat TV on ITV2 which is also shown in 30 other countries including South Africa, United States and Italy.

On 10 September 2012 she performed a modified version of the song at 'Our Greatest Team Parade' held in London to celebrate the success of British athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

On 11 July 2012 Macdonald announced that she would be filming the video saying "Filming the video for Pride 2moro in Glasgow. Praying for a bit of respite from this beautiful Scottish summertime!" On 12 July 2012 she wrote "What a surprise! It's not raining!! Got loads of extra people helping in the video today, my bits not till later! Can't wait to see it :-)". The music video was first released onto YouTube on 6 August 2012 at a total length of three minutes and twenty-four seconds.
