Allison said the album already carried a layer of intentionally sampled and looped material on songs such as this one, so the live playing on top had to keep its live feel through the editing. It was one of the two songs given the full split-mix treatment.

It was released as a single in early 1998 with an edit and two Chemical Brothers versions, a remix and an instrumental. Pitchfork's Grayson Haver Currin wrote that on the album it flows from "Come Together" and that its ending makes a non-introduction to the piano of "All of My Thoughts".
