Background
editSpeaking to Billboard about the collaboration, Lexi Norton of Echos said:
"I remember I was at dinner when Tal called me and told me that Seven Lions wanted to make a track with us. I try to not let myself get excited over much, but imagine getting a phone call saying that one of your favorite artists wants to collaborate with you. That was probably the best feeling in the world."[3]
Jeff Montalvo, better known as Seven Lions, further stated in an interview with EDMChicago that he wanted to work on a title featuring Norton, which turned into the collaboration.[4]
Reception and release

editAn extended play featuring six remixes of "Cold Skin" was released on June 13, 2017 on Monstercat.[7] Landon Fleury of YourEDM praised the variety of the remixers in the EP, from familiar Monstercat personalities to two surprise entries.[8]
