All four members wrote it, and Butch Vig and the band produced it. DGC released it as a single on 22 March 1993 with The End of the End of the Ugly on the B-side. It reached number 26 in the UK and number 8 on the ARIA Alternative chart in Australia. In a December 1992 interview Gordon named it her favorite song on Dirty. She said she did not know what it was about, and that Sugar Kane was a name Marilyn Monroe used on hotel registers but she was unsure the song concerned Monroe. Moore wrote the songs he sang.
