Background and release[edit]

In March 2017, During Excision's Paradox Tour, Kill the Noise first announced a collaboration between him and California-based electronic artist Seven Lions, playing the song in almost its entirety near the end of his set.[1] The song would later be during various live sets by both Seven Lions and Kill the Noise for more than half a year prior to the song's release.[2][3] On October 22, Seven Lions announced the song as "Cold Hearted" and that the song was to be released by Canadian record label Monstercat.[4][5]

The song was released alongside the debut of the North-American tour titled Horizons Tour.[2][6] The tour features both Seven Lions and Kill the Noise alongside American electronic duo Tritonal.[7][8][9] "Cold Hearted" was featured on Monstercat's thirty-third compilation album titled Monstercat Uncaged Vol. 3 released on November 10, 2017. It was the third track on the album, which also includes 29 songs by various artists and two album mixes.[10]
