The second single from the album was originally written by Reynolds as a folk-blues song and has been reimagined by Sir Tom as a upbeat pop-rock track.
Accompanying the new single is an chilling music video that sees the star being interrogated by a masked man as they both sit in a darkened interview room.

Tom's character interchanges with a variety of characters including a teenage boy and a middle-aged woman, before culminating in the star sticking both fingers up to the camera in an act of defiance.
