Background

During Howell and Lester's world tour of their stage show The Amazing Tour Is Not On Fire, they debuted their first ever musical number, with which they closed the show. The purpose of the number was for them to explore the joys of the internet in a joking manner, and as such it contains references to multiple popular websites, such as Twitter and Tumblr. By popular demand from fans who had seen the performance, Howell and Lester decided to record the song and release it as a charity single as a part of Stand Up to Cancer to promote cancer awareness. All profits for the single went to the cause.[1][2]

Commercial performance

On December 15, 2016, on a live show on the site YouNow, they showed a gold record disc given to them by Stand Up To Cancer for the sales of the song.[5]
