The single came out on Fiction on January 12, 2009, a week before the album, and reached 34 in the UK, 5 on the UK Physical chart and 4 in Scotland. Max Dingel and Ed Buller produced, at ICP Studios and Kore Studios between May and September 2008. The song runs 3:11 on the album and 3:13 or 3:14 on the single pages. Andreas Nilsson, who also directed "Death", made the video. The UK CD carried a Filthy Dukes remix, and the 7-inch had "Farewell to the Fairground" in a Yuksek remix; Tommy Sparks also remixed it.
