"This Heart Attack" was the first single from Be the Twilight, Faker's second album, going out digitally on 13 October 2007 and reaching shops two weeks later, on the 27th. An indie rock single on EMI, it caught on with Triple J's listeners, who voted it into the station's Hottest 100 for the year.

It kept turning up after that: Miami Horror remixed it for the Ministry of Sound Clubber's Guide to 2008, and radio pair Hamish & Andy rewrote it as a parody, "The Last Line Was Crap", and sang it to Faker on their show. Stephen Lance and Damon Escott directed the video for Head Pictures, and "Are You Magnetic?" followed it as the next single.
