Songfacts®:

  • This pulsating ode to inescapable love was influenced by Blondie. Noel Gallagher told Radio X's Chris Moyles:

    "I read a newspaper recently that they were saying they that want me to write them a song. Well, I'm sorry to tell you, Blondie, I've already written you a song, but I'm using it first, so once I've finished with it, you can have it."
  • During Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds performance of this song on Later With Jools Holland, band member Charlotte Marionneau used a pair of scissors as a percussion instrument. A clip of the French female's scissor-playing went viral after their appearance on the show.
