"Pressure" was the second single Skindred took from Babylon, following "Nobody", and like its predecessor it got a music video. Babylon was the debut from the Welsh heavy metal band, built from members of the defunct Dub War with Benji Webbe among them, and the whole band shares the writing credit here. The single's reggae rock tag suits a record that critics warmed to for its collision of alternative metal and reggae.
Babylon took the long way round. RCA put it out in 2002, but the band felt badly treated and left the label in 2004 for Bieler Bros. Records, which released the album internationally with Lava, and every edition shuffled the track list. Bieler Bros. is the label on "Pressure" too, and a tour headed by Korn helped get the word out.
