The track is the fifth song to be taken from their self-titled debut, which has sold over 350,000 copies since its release last June.
Discussing the song's promo in a behind-the-scenes preview on Youtube, singer Elly Jackson said: "The track is about stalking in a love sort of way. I've never actually stalked anyone [but] I've always seen this track as a very... dark thing, a very film noir, creepy, stalky alleyway thing.
"I play the predator and [actress] Natasha plays the prey. It was really important for me to have someone that is as androgynous as I am. Obviously people are going to go, 'Oh my god is there a girl in her video because she likes girls?'
"It was just really a statement about androgyny. If I'm honest I would rather have someone who wasn't boy or girl, I would pick someone who strangely had both!"
La Roux recently scored a top ten hit in the States with her UK number one 'Bulletproof'.
