An indelible ear-worm destined to become festival favourites yell-sung fervently by audiences internationally soon. Alex Kapranos says of the track: ""I started writing this one when I was stuck in France for lockdown and playing around on an old piano, I came up with a melancholic question of a melody with a downward spiral of chords that’s now the bridge. I was amusing myself thinking about a conversation I’d heard or read about 'Staying Alive' by The Bee Gees being the perfect BPM: 103.62, so thought, why not make this one at exactly the same BPM?
