In a statement
Dan Smith said, "'Blame' was one of the first songs we wrote for Wild World and it has grown and developed a life of its own as we've played it live over the last year or so. Guitars have become a bigger part of our sound on this record and I think that's pretty evident here. The song is about a dramatic stand off between two gangsters and nods to
American History X and
The Godfather. We were really excited to make the video with Elliott Sellers, whom we really admire. It’s been a fun excuse to expand upon the visual world of this album and we can’t wait for people to see it." ==Music video==
