This song is about corporate greed and political corruption, culminating in environmental degradation. Together with “War,” “Blood // Water” boosted grandson’s popularity to what it has become today.

This song and grandson himself were further exposed to a wider audience when it was featured in Episode 21 of Season 2 (“Judgment Night”) of the insanely-popular teen drama show Riverdale. It was also the theme for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4, which further increased its popularity.

The single quickly became the most popular component of his “a modern tragedy vol. 1” project, and his biggest record thus far.

Due to its success, 5 official remixes have been released as well as an acoustic version and a live version (part of his Garage Gigs Live) project. The song has garnered more than 500 million streams on Spotify and peaked at #19 on Billboard Top Rock Songs Chart on September 22nd, 2018.
