‘Catch-22’ is a phrase used to describe a problem from which there is very little escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent circumstances. This song’s message echoes that of Cinematic track “No Tomorrow,”. Illy encourages people to live their lives to the fullest as there’s no getting out alive. The ultimate catch-22 is life itself.

Following 2015’s “Swear Jar,” and his six time ARIA nominated hit “Papercuts,” this is the third single from Illy’s fifth studio album, Two Degrees.
