Climb

＂	'We originally composed it to this sort of guitar dance track. Then on the last night of working with them someone from Amsterdam sent in an instrumental to a different girl that didn't work. And then Tor [from Stargate] was like, 'oh my God, what if we turn put it underneath that track', and I was like, 'hm...', and then we did it and it sounded amazing.'	＂
– Marina talking about the original instrumental of 'Radioactive', which was later given to Max

Trivia

• This is Stargate's second known song with Max, the first being an unknown Charli XCX xollaboration.
• The song uses the same instrumental as the demo of "Radioactive" by Marina & The Diamonds. Stargate also produced the song, indicating he may have reused the instrumental for Max.
• The song was recorded in the same session as "Rich As Fuck".
• There was most likely a rejected pitch demo with the same song name, intended for the deluxe version of Heaven & Hell. It was registered alongside "Battle or Love" and "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly".
