On 7 November 2007 at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester, Stereophonics lead singer Kelly Jones announced that some of the lyrics to this song were written whilst staying in "a crap hotel in Paris". One of the song's signature lines, "take a look at me now", was first used - in a similar melody - in their earlier single "Since I Told You It's Over".

Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“For me, writing something down was the only road out.”
—Anne Tyler (b. 1941)
“In the course of writing one historical book or another, it has happened that I could hardly restrain myself from simply copying entire documents. Indeed, I sometimes sank down among the documents and said to myself, I can’t improve on these.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
