• This was the second single taken from English Indie pop singer V.V. Brown's debut album Travelling Like The Light.
• Brown told the Guardian newspaper that she spent two years living in LA, "depressed, addicted to sleeping pills and dating an idiot." She earned some money doing session work as a backing singer but by early 2007, the English singer-songwriter had had enough of America. Leaving her hopeless boyfriend for good, she returned to London to start over and started grafting on UK's club circuit, before being snapped up by Island Records. Her ex inspired this wake-up call to a woman in a bad relationship. Brown recalled to The London Times: "Shortly after I got signed I was doing a show. I always introduce this song by saying it's a song about 'my a---hole ex-boyfriend'. I didn't realise he was in the audience until he asked me for royalties. Was he serious? He's the sort of person that would try it on, yes."
