On May 11, 2015, the band officially announced that the single would be released on May 15.

According to the sheet music published on musicnotes.com, the song is composed in the key of E minor with a moderate tempo.

A music video for the song was filmed during a live concert at SSE Arena Wembley on May 28, 2015. It was directed by Travis Schneider and Adam Levine and was released on May 30, 2015.
