About this song
Written by Ryan Tedder, Mishaal Tamer, Brendan Angelides and Grant Boutin, and produced by Tedder and Boutin, the song was made in Bangkok and Tokyo within four days of the request for it. Tamer was added as a vocalist because the band wanted a Middle Eastern artist on the track, and he was touring with them at the time. It was released on September 22, 2023 through Mosley and Interscope Records, and a music video directed by Tomás Whitmore premiered the same day, shot in Malta inside a tunnel where soldiers once marched before battle.
What it's about
The lyrics draw on the story of the Assassins from the game, with a self-determined theme running through the verses. Tamer's Arabic bridge is about persevering when others falter.
