Son of Beatle Ringo Starr, Zak Starkey called the track "a fantastic psychedelic groove from a band of misfits, outsiders and innovators,” whilst frontman Ryder adds: “It’s a f***ing blast mate!! It’s great when we’re not all irate.”

Speaking on the project as a whole, former Oasis guitarist Andy Bell said: “It’s a pleasure to be part of Mantra of the Cosmos. Four like minded souls who get off on the same music.”
