Leftfield featuring Toni Halliday, the third single from Leftism, released March 13, 1995.
Leftfield, from Leftism (1995)

Barnes, Daley and Halliday wrote it and Leftfield produced it at Rollover Studios. Halliday, of Curve, has said Leftfield sent her a DAT that seemed to change every 12 bars, that she recorded vocals on her own 24-track, and that she wrote the start and end of a movie scene. She told an interviewer she can't say what it is about but that it is definitely personal and very dark and disturbing, and Barnes called the lyrics quite scary and twisted. The album version runs 6:22 (MusicBrainz says 6:23) and the radio edit 4:10. Formats included a 12-inch with Jam, Filter Fish and Drift mixes, and a CD with a Live Dub. Hard Hands and PolyGram released it on March 13, 1995; it reached 18 in the UK, 20 in Scotland and 11 on the UK dance chart. We did not find a setlist play count.
