SAFIA premiered "Embracing Me" on Triple J on July 2, 2015 and put it on iTunes on 10 July through Parlophone, the first single from their debut album, Internal, which followed in 2016. Fans of the Australian electronic group's shows already knew it: Ben Woolner said it had been around long enough that it once nearly came out ahead of "You Are The One". Confront Magazine's Jessica Allard Morishita heard it as light and smooth, made for a summer playlist.
The video, shot in St Joseph's church in Gundaroo, follows a young Amish couple sweet on each other in a community that frowns on anything past the platonic, above all the preacher, who is the young woman's father, played by David Roberts.
