The track was recorded on July 15, 2005 at Rockperry Festival in Vaasa, Finland.
The song has gained a significant success by immediately hitting the number one on YleX's Most Wanted and staying on top of the list for four months (for now).

[edit] Trivia
- Single's cover features a pattern which can be spotted in band's first video, Late Goodbye in the room scene.
There are various references in the video, which can be spotted throughout:
- Carnival of Rust is the name of the place where action's taking place.
- Video features all members of the band and people that support "Poets of the Fall" on their live performances.
- Singer Mark is closed in a booth which has fragments of "Gravity"'s lyrics printed on it.
- The bearded lady's tattoo says "Delicious" which is the title of the tenth track of "Carnival of Rust" album.
- Ticket printed at the end of the video says "Cor Cordis". In Latin, both of these words mean "heart". There's also a small "4" printed on the bottom of the ticket, which is probably a reference to another album's track, "All The Way / 4U".
