Background

Singer Ricky Wilson described the song as a "hate ballad" and added, "Usually bands release for their third single a love ballad but we decided to do the opposite. It's for anyone who's ever split up with someone and they don't leave you alone." Guitarist Simon Rix added: "shut it, you slag!" [3]

Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian wrote that the Kaiser Chiefs had been labeled as has-beens by 2003-2004, and they were desperate to build a fanbase to impress record labels: "The need to make an impression while bottom of the bill in a tiny venue explains all the ohhhhhhs and nanananas and oft-repeated choruses that set up shop in the listener's brain after the first listen." [4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Tim Pope. It features the band wearing skeleton costumes. [5]
