Songfacts®:

  • Enter Shikari's first physical single, this was released as a Double A-side with "OK, Time for Plan B" on October 29, 2006.
  • This was one of the earliest songs Enter Shikari wrote as a band back in 2003. Vocalist Rou Reynolds recalled to Kerrang!: "It's the only one from that period that survived. We never had any sort of feeling about it, and we actually recorded it as a B-side, because it had been hanging around so long. It was extremely surreal to hear it on the radio."
  • The ultra low-budget video was filmed in bassist Chris Batten's parents' front room and shows the band performing the song to a small gathering of friends and fans.
  • The song was selected for inclusion in the soundtrack for the video game NHL 08.
