Songfacts®:

  • The song was recorded in early 2013 at ICP studios in Brussels, Belgium, as part of the Big TV album sessions. It was produced by Ed Buller (Suede, Pulp) and mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent. The track got the band excited – "it might be the most immediate White Lies song we've written," said vocalist Harry McVeigh to NME shortly after laying it down.
  • The Big TV album follows the adventures of an Eastern European girl hunting down her absentee father in a vast metropolis. This song finds the female arguing with her boyfriend back home about her constant drifting. Bassist and lyricist Charles Cave told NME: "That's the boyfriend's point of view of her – he's fed up hearing the same old excuses."
  • Cave told The Sun regarding the song: "This is where the anti-heroine is trying to mend her relationship with someone in her home town. Her reasoning is desperate and weak and I think this is a common story."
