Redshift was produced by Dan Weller, the man behind the desk for the band's most recent album The Mindsweep, and the video was directed by Mike Tyler who also worked on the promos for Anaesthetist and Torn Apart.

Reynolds says: "Redshift is a song about bloody good luck. On the grandest of scales. Literally. Our universe is expanding faster and faster and a few trillion years from now, everything will have sped away from us so fast that all we would see when looking out from Earth is empty space.
