Background

The artists co-wrote the song with Beat Billionaire, who co-produced it with Skrillex.[4] The song contains multiple references to characters and motifs in the movie, including references to Killer Croc, Deadshot and Gotham City. It is possibly written from the perspective of the Joker, featured in both the film and music video, who is known for his affinity for purple; he wears a purple crocodile-leather trench coat, utilises purple colored weapons, and drives a purple Infiniti G35 with a Vaydor body kit.

Music video

On August 5, 2016, Skrillex uploaded the music video onto his YouTube account which features himself, Rick Ross and Jared Leto as The Joker.[5]
