Overview
Like their previous two singles, "Nothing Lasts Forever" and "I Want to Be There (When You Come)", the single was released on London Records as a 7-inch single and as two separate CD versions — apart from the title track all three releases had different track listings and each with a different cover.
The B-side to the 7-inch single is a demo version of the title track and the extra tacks of both CDs are live tracks taken from their 1997 appearance at the Glastonbury Festival.
Written by Will Sergeant, Ian McCulloch and Les Pattinson, the title track was also self-produced by the band. It was mixed by Clif Norrell. The photography for the CD covers was done by Norman Watson.
