Released as a single from Let's Get Killed, it was recorded at EPI in Belfast. Rodney Yates, the public astrologer of Washington Square Park, is credited with vocals, and Keith Tenniswood is credited with additional production.

Songs from Let's Get Killed were used in Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven. Asked about his songs appearing in the film, Holmes said it was all Soderbergh's doing, that he was very happy about it, and that he would not have had the nerve to push his own music into the director's films at that stage.
