• Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes sings a ghostly echo of Albarn's voice on this narrative of a night spent at Dunoon in Scotland. Khan supported Albarn's band Blur in 2013 at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, Ireland.
• Dunoon used to be a nuclear submarine base. Albarn recalled to The Sun: "Blur did a gig there. It was a ghostly place, shrouded in melancholy and had seen better days."
• The ballad references Argyll Street, Dunoon's main street.
• Albarn admits on the chorus that, "It's hard to be a lover when the TV's on and nothing is in your eyes." He told The Sun: "(The lyric) might seem like a domestic thing, but it was the idea of someone heading out of those dark locks into the Atlantic on a nuclear submarine with the glow of the monitors."
• Albarn didn't want to keep the "hard to be a lover when the TV's on" line, but his producer Richard Russell was adamant. He told Q magazine: "I was like, 'I can't. I just can't.' But credit to Richard, because I would have lost it and it is a good line. At the time it felt harsh on everyone though. I love telly! It's just those moments when you're staring into the void thinking, 'What am I doing with my life?'"
• Speaking about working with XL Recordings owner Richard Russell on the Everyday Robots album, Albarn told Rolling Stone: "In an ironic way, it's sort of the most collaborative record I've ever done when it comes to songwriting. Some of the songs just came from the two of us experimenting in the studio."
  
  Russell handled the drum programming while Albarn took on the singing, piano and guitar parts. "We did it in just three months at my studio," he said. "We'd work five days a week, 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m."
