The song was released as a Japan-only fourth single. It was mostly panned by Western music critics, who criticized its sound and called it immature, while it was generally well-received in Japan. Lavigne shot a music video for the track in Japan which was released on April 21, 2014. Due to the video's popularity, the song charted at number 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming the second highest charting single from the album.
