• This was the hardest track on the Royal Blood album to record. Lead singer Mike Kerr told HMV.com: "We re-wrote it and re-recorded it three times, it's the only track on the album that was difficult to get right. There are so many versions of it, but it didn't click until the last time."
• Mike Kerr came up with the chorus/guitar part when drummer Ben Thatcher popped out of the studio to go to the toilet. He told Drowned in Sound: "While he was gone, I worked out a really funny solo for the song and then that turned into the whole chorus part."
• Mike Kerr had the words for this quite a while before the pair came up with the music. He told Artist Direct: "Before it was even a song, I wrote all of the lyrics down. It was quite fortunate I was able to make a song out of that. It's less cryptic of a tune. It's really about being too late for something."
