The song, a continuation of "For the Damaged," is based on Frédéric Chopin's Nocturne in F minor, Op. 55, No. 1,[1] and gained renewed exposure after appearing in an episode of the animated television series Rick and Morty as the theme for the character Evil Morty,[2] and has since become an internet meme.[3] It was also included in The Rick And Morty Soundtrack. The song was sampled in B.o.B.'s 2017 song "BoBiverse".[4]
