It is not included on any of the band's studio albums and featured the band's bass player Bruce Foxton on lead vocals. It was also the only Jam single to be written by Foxton apart from Funeral Pyre which was co-written by all three Jam members: Weller/Foxton/Buckler.
The video for the single was filmed on the roof of Battersea Power Station in London.
The song is used as the theme tune for the British satirical panel game Mock the Week.
