Songfacts®:

  • Vaccines singer Justin Young is a guest vocalist on this song. Babyshambles bassist Drew McConnell told NME how the collaboration came about: "When I wrote it, I realized the middle-eight sounded like The Vaccines," he said. "I thought they'd think I was ripping them off so asked Justin to sing on it. He e-mailed me to say they were going to be in town for a show, so we went and had lunch. He told me he'd come up with something. I was like, 'No, let's do it now,' and they all burst out laughing. But he came to the studio and got it really quickly."
