In 2020, while releasing new music videos for the album tracks off of his album Remixed, the idea to finish the partially completed music video was born. Yet after its initial playback, the recording became a solo record. The 2013 filmed material, which was left incomplete because featured artist Nathi Louw was unavailable at the time, was revisited to serve as the base material used in the new video. The video was considered completed in May, however after initial playback the video went back into production. With added effects, the music video was completed in early June.

It was announced for release on June 30th to celebrate Egmond’s birthday, with preorders going live a week prior. The video, a completely new take on the 2014 version (which has seen a limited online release only), boasts a range of new effects and footage that has been left in the drawer for years. According to the artist the song never had its time to shine and with its official single release and accompanying video, the song’s unintentional delay paid off when it was released 13 years after recording it.

The single was meant to also feature a unique B-side: the demo of Egmond’s then-upcoming single Everything We Say featuring Algorrid3m; however this was only available on Deezer and dropped from the general release at the last minute to be utilized later. The original promo video for the single included a reference to the bonus b-side. A video for that demo was also created with references to this release. A release of the video has not yet been announced.

In 2023, the singer happened across a report that showed that Electric had received rotation on Johannesburg-based South African radio station, Hot102.7FM, in 2021, a year after its release. To celebrate the news, a post on social media reported this saying “I have no idea how this happened, but I’m thrilled to find out Hot102.7FM played my song ELECTRIC – way back in 2021! Better late than never – but thank you guys! Glad you liked it.”
