It is the opening track on their fourth studio album Singles, and was released as the album's lead single on February 4, 2014. The song received much critical acclaim, topping The Village Voice's annual year-end Pazz & Jop critics' poll and also being named the best track of 2014 by publications such as NME,Pitchfork Media, and Spin.

The band's performance of the song on Late Show with David Letterman became an internet hit due to frontman Samuel T. Herring's visual and vocal performance, which including elaborate and angular dance moves and death metal-style growls. Herring also put on a similarly unusual performance during the band's performance of the song on Later... with Jools Holland.
