Background
The song was originally written by Toby Gad, Kerli, and Lindy Robbins[4] (who wrote Demi Lovato's "Skyscraper" the same day[3]) for Kerli's second album but Kerli stated "it didn't make it on my album so [Tarja] rewrote some things in the verses and took our hook."[5]

Music video
The music video was filmed in Iceland and features Tarja interacting with a character who gets older throughout the video. The video, along with the song and single, was a last-minute request from Germany. As such, it is filmed on the same beach and cliffs as the "Until My Last Breath" music video, and also features Tarja wearing the same black and white outfits. Even though it was filmed after "Until My Last Breath", the "I Feel Immortal" music video was released earlier.
