Bring Me the Horizon first let "Ludens" loose in November 2019 on Death Stranding: Timefall, the soundtrack to the video game, and it came back as the lead single of their 2020 release Post Human: Survival Horror. Oliver Sykes and Jordan Fish wrote and produced it, with Sykes singing lead and writing the words and Fish on keyboards and backing vocals; Lee Malia plays guitar, Matt Kean bass and Matt Nicholls drums, and Zakk Cervini mixed it.
Critics couldn't settle on what to call it, electronic rock, pop rock, electropop or metalcore, which says plenty about how many lanes it runs in at once. The rollout was a game of its own: a photo of a floppy-disk-looking gadget with the release date written on it, then word that Annie Mac would play it on BBC Radio 1.
