• This song represented a piece of history for Depeche Mode. It marked the first time that founding members Martin Gore and Dave Gahan had ever written a song together. Gahan told The Sun: "It was cool to do that. Martin had this ethereal piece of music and our producer Ben Hillier pushed it."
• Gahan told Spinner how Gore showed up in the studio with an unfinished piece he wanted to play. "He motioned toward me, 'What do you think?' and I was like, 'It's cool,'" Gahan recalled. "Ben, who's producing the record, said, 'I think Martin was trying to see if you're interested in writing anything to that.'"
  
  "I just let it absorb into me for a few days," he added. "I came up with something and recorded it, and Martin seemed very happy."
• The song can be found on the Deluxe edition bonus disc of Delta Machine.
