The release marks the second signature song Demi has updated to reflect her current sound – earlier this year, she released “Heart Attack (Rock Version)” in celebration of the original track’s 10-year anniversary which was met with praise from both fans and critics alike.

Demi performed rock versions of both tracks on her 2022 HOLY FVCK Tour which was in support of her album of the same name. The critically acclaimed HOLY FVCK, which featured singles “29,” “SUBSTANCE,” and SKIN OF MY TEETH,” saw Demi return to her rock and pop-punk roots and included features from Yungblud, Royal & The Serpent, and Dead Sara. The album debuted at #1 on three separate Billboard charts: Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, and Top Alternative Albums, and earned her a 2023 GLAAD Media Award nomination for Outstanding Music Artist.
