Musical style and themes

edit

Loudwire described the song as having "punchy, downtuned rhythms and forceful drumming" in the background with Worsnop's clean, melodic singings over the top of it.[3] In addition to the traditional rock elements, synthesized electronic "whoa-oh" sound effects play over parts of the song.[3]
