Frontman Taylor Washington said of the song:

‘Awakening’ is the first track on the album and I think it was the perfect choice for an opener. It smacks you in the face right away with big melodic guitars and chord stabs before kicking into the blistering main riff while I scream my ass off over the top of everything. The whole song is packed with hooks and ear-grabbers as well as some great guitar and vocal work. Plus it’s about Zelda! To be specific, it’s about The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening for the GameBoy. One of my favorites in the Zelda series, due in no small part to the atmosphere and plot. Y’all video game nerds ought to appreciate that,”
