Muse is terug met de nieuwe single Dig Down. De track focust zich op de thema’s samenhorigheid en overleven – vechten voor wat goed is wanneer je geen kant meer op kunt. Dig Down was co-produced door Mike Elizondo en Muse. Spike Stent heeft de track gemixt.
“When I was writing this song I was looking to counteract the current negativity in the world and give inspiration, optimism and hope to people to fight for the causes they believe in; that as individuals we can choose to change the world if we want to.” – Matt Bellamy
De videoclip van Dig Down is tegelijkertijd met de single verschenen. In de video is top model Lauren Wasser te zien. Zij verloor haar been door het ‘toxic shock syndrome’.
Lance Drake, regisseur, zegt het volgende over de videoclip:
“The song is about survival and fighting the odds – when I heard this song I knew I wanted to do an action packed narrative. I’d heard about Lauren a year or so ago, I read her story and she gave me personal inspiration so I’d always kept her in mind to shoot with one day. The power of the song made me think of her … so I wrote the video narrative based on Lauren’s story and how she overcame the odds.”
