Songfacts®:

  • This song features American singer-songwriter St. Vincent on vocals. Asked by HMV.com how they chose their collaborators, Tom Rowlands of The Chemical Brothers replied: "We just go after the musicians we love, the people who've made our ears prick up, people with defined voices."

    "With Annie (St. Vincent), I asked our management to step it up and we got an email chat going, we had a rough idea," he continued. "She was on tour and she did an initial session in Australia and then after that we came together for a session in London."

    "They quite often happen like that," Rowland concluded, "we'll do a rough demo and imagine their voice and how it would fit, then we approach them."
