Songfacts®:

  • This was the first song from Scottish indie rock band The View's third studio album to be previewed. It was made available as a free download from their website on November 1, 2010.
  • The ambient synths and driving motorik beat for this song was a new sound for The View, who are known for their guitar based sound. Frontman Kyle Falconer explained to the NME: "It's based on Kraftwerk. They are one of our producer Youth's favourite bands, so we decided to make a song that sounded just like them. It's probably the danciest song we have ever recorded. It's got some mad sounds on it and was written with a drum machine."
