The song has also become the band's first-ever independent video, and has received over 4 million views to date from the music video, lyric video and other YouTube placements of the song.

Receiving over 1,800, 5-star average customer reviews on iTunes® alone for The End Is Where We Begin, TFK has found that sometimes the best way to move forward is to go back to the basics, taking all of the raw energy and emotion of the past and channeling it into the present. For those who've been following the Ontario, Canada-bred players since their formation in 1997, it's been a continuously escalating highlight reel that includes best-selling albums, top Active Rock hits (including "War Of Change" and "Let The Sparks Fly" from The End Is Where We Begin, as well as "Fire It Up," and "Move"), tours like last summer's Third Annual Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival, plus a slew of soundtrack slots. In fact, the group has literally infiltrated every facet of pop culture, from ongoing ESPN appearances, to various NASCAR, MLB, NHL, WWE, NCAA and NFL airings (including the 2010 Super Bowl), along with the "GI Joe" movie trailer, WGN-TV's "Smallville" and EA Sports' NHL 2010 and 2013 video games.
