Not much is known about this song yet. It is rumored that it will be the next single. The song was live premiered at iHeartRadio's gig in New York in May 2015.
The song contains piano octaves in the verses, similar to Starlight. It gets heavy during the build-up and in the choruses, when arppegiated synth also kicks in. The choruses are similar to those of Stockholm Syndrome. The melodies sound fairly positive, in oposition of the previous two songs of the album.
