Song creation


In an interview with the music magazine Rock Sound in September 2011 Josh Franceschi said that "Rescue me" target="_blank">Me" was a low point for the band. "We were basically forced to release a song that we didn't want to", he said. According to Franceschi, the band wanted to end the promotional campaign for Hold me" target="_blank">Me Down with "Fireworks", a ballad which is the last track of the album, but the label wanted a big radio song. "We got drunk during some time off last year and wrote a song that was like "Airplanes" as a joke", the singer recalled. "We sent the track in and two weeks later we got a call from our label saying it was the best You me" target="_blank">Me At Six song we'd ever written... Soon enough, we get another call – they're shooting a video for the song". Franceschi said he felt like the band had sold out: "I honestly could not believe I was part of something like that... we've worked too hard getting to where we are to throw it all away because someone who sits in an office thinks he knows more about our fans and our band than we do."




Music video


The music video for the single was made available for streaming on the band's official YouTube page on January 20, 2011. The video shows an American black boxer in preparations alongside his coach and mate for the fight scheduled later, the video ends at the start of the fight when the bell has been rung.
