The following information comes from a Polygon interview with musician and songwriter Brent "brentalfloss" Black and animator Oscar "Osuka" Diaz.

"Listening to the title theme for Metroid, though, I felt like there was real heart somewhere in there — some vulnerability that isn't explored in the actual gameplay or outward characterization and one day I was on tour in 2011 and bummed about not having seen my girlfriend in weeks, and I guess I put myself in the shoes of a bounty hunter missing her significant other." - Brentalfloss
"I [contacted] Brent Black in December 2011, asking if he needed a 3D designer for an album cover. And I sent to him my portfolio. He liked my animations and told me that he wanted to do a Metroid [video] for awhile ... I had fun with Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion as a kid, so working on a Metroid-based video with brentalfloss sounded like a fun ride." - Oscar Diaz
"This song ["Fight For Love"], inspired by highly expressive music and my actual personal loneliness at the time of writing, was written from the heart. The main difference for me [from my previous work] is that I don't generally feel vulnerable writing funny material, but writing heartfelt stuff is extremely scary for me." - Brentalfloss
