The song had its premiere on 28 October 2018 on the German radio station Rock Antenne.
In a track-by-track interview with Kerrang!, Richard said the following about the song:[1]
There are two songwriters in the world that I admire. One is called Martin Gore, whose band Depeche Mode influenced this track, and the other is Trent Reznor. Whenever Martin writes music, I feel really close to it, almost as if I could have written it myself. I definitely wish I could have written those songs because I really feel them. I’ve met him a couple of times, he’s such an adorable person. We’re now talking about doing a song together, which is something that has been on my list for quite a while. It’s going to be really interesting to hear him and me on the same track…
I feel it rotting away
My world of decay
It's taking over
I need to break free
What's happened to me?
Oh, nothing else matters
Burn bright, gyrate
Something's coming over
Speed my heart rate
Now it's taking over
I'm a million degrees burning sky
Light will kill the disease that's inside
How could I ever repay
What's fading away
Still I wonder
The trouble with me
I cannot just be
'cause that's all that matters
Burn bright, gyrate
Something's coming over
Speed my heart rate
Now it's taking over
I'm a million degrees burning sky
Light will kill the disease that's inside
I'm a million degrees burning sky
Light will kill the disease that's inside
(I'm a million degrees burning sky)
I'm a million degrees burning sky
Light will kill the disease that's inside
I'm a million degrees burning sky
Light will kill the disease that's inside
