The song was premiered at Egyptian Room on 11 October 2011, in its original demo form. A 2012 version features in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The VIP mix was debuted on a Rinse FM show on 16 January 2013. Later on, the Black Ops version of the track was combined with Alvin Risk's song "Yeah" to form the neon mix. The neon mix premiered on 15 June, in Skrillex's Essential Mix, and the full version was later premiered as the music video shortly before release. According to Moore, there have been at least 8 different mixes of the song.[2] The "Put Em Up" mix is a mash-up with the Alvin Risk song of the same name, which featured on the Junk Food extended play. It features vocals from Jason Aalon Butler from the American hardcore band letlive.
