The song's making of video was leaked/uploaded on Vimeo on March 29th, 2015. The song is reminiscent of heavy 80s metal/rock, and has a Queen and an AC/DC feel to it.
Instrumentation
In the beginning, the piano and bass slowly build up the song. After that, the song turns fairly heavy, featuring guitars, bass and drums. Matt has apparently used Chris's bass effects for the guitar sound, as he thought it sounded amazing.
