Bring Me the Horizon put out "Drown" as a stand-alone single in late 2014, and it was the sound of a metalcore band walking away from metalcore: critics heard pop-punk-leaning emo and arena-sized alternative rock instead. A slip by Epitaph Records, their US label, leaked it on YouTube the same day it premiered on BBC Radio 1. It became their first UK top-20 single, peaking at number 17.
Word was it wouldn't appear on a studio album, but a remix turned up as track 9 of That's the Spirit, their fifth album, and went out as its lead single. Oliver Sykes wrote the lyrics and shares the music credit with Jordan Fish and Lee Malia; Sykes and Fish produced, with Fish on electronics and backing vocals, Malia on guitar, Matt Kean on bass and Matt Nicholls on drums.
