search & destroy

About this song

The track was created during ericdoa's two-week LOCKED IN studio session, where it was the third song completed. It grew out of a scrapped demo by pluko, which the producers Zetra, Glasear and mochila flipped in the studio. A demo was sent to tour mate Porter Robinson during the livestream, and he made a Dance remix of it on his own Twitch stream.

What it's about

The song is full of references to the military video game Call of Duty. It tells its story from the perspective of a video game-style action hero and echoes the feel of gameplay from that series.
