Background
On 8 October 2013, a piano track titled "Avaritia" was uploaded to Zimmerman's SoundCloud account, along with the rest of the "7" EP. The seven piano-only tracks were each named after the seven deadly sins in Latin ("Acedia", "Avaritia", "Gula", "Invidia", "Ira", "Luxuria" and "Superbia"). All titles except "Luxuria" appear on the 2014 album. However, the melody of Luxuria can clearly be heard in Coelacanth II. Of the 6 titles, "Gula", "Acedia" and "Avaritia" were edited from fully piano and includes elements of dance music.

The song was released on 20 May 2014, alongside the iTunes pre-order for while(1<2). People who pre-ordered would be able to download the single for free.[3] "Avaritia" was also made available for download on Beatport.[4]
