This was released as the first single from Five Finger Death Punch's fourth studio album. The song features Rob Halford, the lead singer for the English metal band Judas Priest and was premiered on May 3, 2013 during a live performance at Revolver Magazine's Golden Gods Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The studio version hit US radio on May 13 and iTunes the next day.
FFDP's fourth studio effort is a double album. Guitarist Zoltan Bathory explained, "We came off the road after a couple of great years of touring and were really amped up to write the fourth record... (we) found ourselves 12-13 songs deep fairly quick but were still coming up with better and better material so we looked at each other and said, 'OK, why stop there? Let's keep going.' Once we passed the 24th song, we knew we're going to have to do a double album."
Vocalist Ivan Moody commented regarding the song's meaning: "The song itself was originally written about overcoming everyday obstacles and less-than-perfect situations. Most of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouth, but if life dealt you all the wrong cards, you still have to play. The song's intent is to inspire; if you play that hand right you might just come out on top anyway."
