The first single to be released from Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life, this was premiered on November 8, 2017 by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1.
The lyrics detail someone fighting a losing battle. Frontman Matthew "Murph" Murphy told Annie Mac the song came after a huge argument on Mulholland Drive with his wife. "I was watching kind of a lot of David Lynch, and my wife and I were driving on Mulholland and we had this big kind of raging argument (…) Arguing with [his wife] is similar to kind of arguing with a dragon, like a Game of Thrones-style dragon: you just open your mouth but before you know it, you're like burned to a cinder. So yeah, the title I guess is a metaphor for going into a situation that I knew 100% I was going to lose but I went into it anyway."
The song's music video was directed by Finn Keenan (The Strypes' "She's So Fine", The Wombats' "Greek Tragedy"). He described the clip as "David Lynch meets Power Rangers." Keegan added: "I wanted to make something that started off dark, surreal and a little bit disturbing but then flip it on its head with a big ol' twist that led to a ludicrous ending."
