The track was  mixed by Yaron Fuchs, whose expertise behind the boards has seen him work with artists such as Talib Kweili, Public Enemy and Kings of Leon, while mastering was done by Ricardo Gutierrez (Justin Timberlake, Just Blaze).

The video was produced by Rockwell Music and directed by Mikey Rockwell, and shot both in NZ and in London.
