The release arrived at a moment when the sisters are sharpening their focus on new music and continued visibility in the scene, signaling another strong entry in their growing catalog.
The video was directed by Shane Drake, a veteran filmmaker who has also crafted visuals for Paramore and Kelly Clarkson. The clip has earned robust support from Canadian radio, with airplay across the country from CHUM FM in Toronto, Kool FM in Victoria, The Beat in Vancouver, Sonic in Vancouver, Bounce in Edmonton, Hot 107 in Edmonton, The Wave in Saint John, Majic 100 in Ottawa, and Energy 103.5 in Halifax.
