Songfacts®:

  • Nash recorded this song in Los Angeles in the wake of a difficult time after splitting from The Cribs' Ryan Jarman, the death of a close friend and parting ways with her record label Fiction. She recalled to NME: "The girls had gone to buy cheap phones and I just turned the bass on. I started jamming. Suddenly it felt really significant and important. It is quite a... different song for me. It's quite atmospheric and dealing with loss and death and frustration. There was a lot of loss for me last year and it makes you think about things in a different way. It made me suddenly stop and think, 'What's important in my life? We're all going to die, what am I meant to do with that? At 80, none of this is going to matter, what's cool and stuff... being real is more important."
