Songfacts®:

  • This track features vocalist Bill Kaulitz of German rockers Tokio Hotel. Far East Movement's Kev Nish explained to MTV News why they collaborated with the gothy lead singer. "When we first signed to Cherrytree [Records], we went on the website and see who's on the roster... and we saw Tokio Hotel, and we were like 'Yo, this band is wild,' " he explained. "We were on a bus watching them on the MTV Europe Awards, winning, and we were like, 'We need to do a song with those dudes.' So we got in with Bill Kaulitz and we just wanted to do a song about losing yourself, about possibly losing your mind, because you might die the next day."
