The band's guitarist, Sam Halliday, stated that their work with Madeon on the single was likely a one time collaboration, due to Madeon's busy work schedule, "It was kind of a song that we wanted to explore and from that we're writing other songs. Madeon and the band had known each other prior to their collaboration on "Changing of the Season." Baird explained, "We brought in a friend, someone who brings a very unique sonic quality." Rolling Stone wrote that Madeon added a "dancey vibe to the tune." The band recruited Madeon, the French DJ and record producer, to produce the single. So it's sort of a continuation from that and we were just sort of on a roll writing music.

"When I look at it now, I can understand where people are coming from being upset. However, the singer has admitted that he can understand why some took offence to the album cover. "The sleeve is meant to be sexy, not sexist." Singer Alex Trimble said: "Guy's photographs were an inspiration to us when making the album, and it never occurred to us that our tribute would cause any offence. The Northern Irish trio have spoken out about the controversy and explained that they were paying homage to French photographer Guy Bourdin with the cover. The cover caused controversy for depicting a near-naked woman hanging from a ceiling when it was released in August last year. The group have insisted that the cover is "sexy" rather than "sexist", the Daily Star reports. Two Door Cinema Club have admitted they were horrified at the offence caused by their Beacon album cover.
