Charlotte Wessels on the new single and video: "When I released the initial version of 'Chasing Sunsets' on Patreon, it was an instant favorite, and it grew so much since then as we worked on it for the album, I can't wait to share this track with the world! There's an underlying theme of self-preservation and greed in the song that we visualized in the music video. I've never felt so much like we're living in the hunger games where parts of the world continue lavish lifestyles while others suffer complete devastation. We worked with this theme in the music video through an artificial beautiful landscape and styling, all staged in a barren space with burning trees". Link
