Frontman, Charlie Simpson, described the song's meaning as wanting England to be more patriotic, as he believes it has lost its pride and traditional values.

The song debuted at No. 62 in the UK Singles Chart and at No. 2 in the UK Independent Label Chart. The music video for the release proved a success, making both the No. 1 spot on the most requested charts on Scuzz and Kerrang! television stations.
