Bad Wolves let "Killing Me Slowly" loose in August 2019, on the same day they revealed that their second album would be called N.A.T.I.O.N., and fans who pre-ordered the record got the song on the spot. It became the album's first proper single on October 25, 2019, when N.A.T.I.O.N. itself arrived, with a video directed by Nick Peterson dropping alongside it.
The song picks over infidelity and the wreckage it leaves in a relationship, and the band hit it with full hard rock force. John Boecklin and Tommy Vext produced it with WZRD BLD, and the writing credit stretches to 7 names. In January 2020 it spent a week on top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart, the band's third number one there after their take on the Cranberries' "Zombie" and "Remember When": three chart-toppers from their first four singles.
