"Lydia" had a slow fuse. Highly Suspect first put it out on Black Ocean, their 2013 EP, and it came back as the band's debut single, released through 300 Entertainment and carried over to their first album, Mister Asylum. By August 2015 it had pushed into the top 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.
The video made sure people remembered it. Director TS Pfeffer dreamed up the stunt and pitched it to the band early in 2015: a clip shot underwater in a single take, starring freediver Marina Kazankova.
