Songfacts®:

  • Mat Zo wrote this song for the end credits of the British sci-fi movie Robot Overlords. Zo said: "When I was approached to work on the project I was excited because I've wanted to work on a movie project for a long time. Before I saw the movie I didn't know what to expect, but it turned out to be really entertaining, so I knew it was going to be fun to work on."

    He added: "I asked if I could have some samples and soundbites from the movie to get some ideas, and there was this great bit of speech with, 'Your heart is beating at 174 times per minute', so I knew it had to be 174 BPM drum 'n' bass. It turned out to be one of the hardest projects I've ever done, but I'm really proud of it."
