Songfacts®:

  • The title track of Steve Aoki's second album, the record has a concept of a utopian future "The title is actually a real concept and I came up which is the actual idea of a neon future," the American producer explained to HMV.com, "a future with endless possibilities where people have merged with technology and the horizons are full with music and entertainment."
  • Aoki wrote this with the song's vocalist, Luke Steele of Empire of the Sun. "It's through his words," he told Billboard magazine. "We had an amazing songwriting session together, connecting. For vocalists, I'll play them a bunch of material and see which one speaks to them the best. Then I can subtract, add, change, modify and update after I get the vocals."
