Listen here:“Why do we carry on when the chips are down and all we hear is ‘stop’?,” Amazons frontman Matt Thomson has said about the track’s inception. “‘My Blood’ is an exploration into why, when you truly believe in something, you can push yourself past the point of pain.

It’s not something you can intellectualise, it’s something you feel. With age comes more responsibilities, obstacles, reasons to quit.

But in ‘My Blood’ I wanted to illustrate a force out of our control, deep inside of us, that forsakes that rational thinking.”Thomson has also spoken about his choice to work with Royal Blood on the song. “Mike was one of the first people I spoke to about collaborating on ‘21st Century Fiction’,” he explained. “He’s become somewhat of a mentor over the years.
