The single was released in the wake of the critical acclaim received for the band's first album, Crocodiles, which had been released earlier in the year. The main track itself was not on the album but the b-side, "Do It Clean", was on the US release of the album and the Compact Cassette version of the UK release. The single failed to make the UK Singles Chart. The single was produced by Bill Drummond and David Balfe although they were credited as The Chameleons.[1]
