"Send Them Off!" is a song by English indie pop band Bastille. It was released on 30 September 2016 as the second single from their second studio album, Wild World (2016). The song was written by Dan Smith, who handled the production along with Mark Crew. The song is featured in soundtrack of the EA Sports video game FIFA 17, and was brought back for FIFA 23, as part of the game's Ultimate FIFA Soundtrack (a compilation of 40 songs from past FIFA games).
Rhian Daily of NME praised the song's hip-hop influences, as well as the lyrics (including the quotations of William Shakespeare).[2] Jordan Osbourne of Vendor Culture gave the song a similar review, rating it a "7.5/10", and praising both the production and the influence of Othello and The Exorcist.[3]
A music video for the song was unveiled the same day it was released as a single.[4] The music video features a young man traveling through a long hallway, a church ruin, a horsedrawn carriage driven by an hooded figure and ending up in a chapel while getting chased by a horned figure.
