The song won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song and was nominated for Best Rock Performance, for the 2018 Grammys.

The song had first been played live in February 2017. The studio version of the song was released as a single on June 1, 2017, making it the band's first single since "Saint Cecilia" in 2015. Many music journalists noted the song was expected, but not confirmed, to be off of the band's then-upcoming ninth studio album, Concrete and Gold. The single was a surprise release, without any prior indication being made of its existence, other than the band's vague allusions to working on music over the course of 2017. Seven weeks after its initial release, the song topped the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart, the seventh song from the band to do so.
