Unusually, it features all members of the band on vocals simultaneously and is characteristic of their Virgin era sound, with lyrics written by Peter Gilmour.

It was the band's only hit single in the UK, peaking at #26,[2] which led to an appearance on Top of the Pops where Holger Czukay mimed a performance on double bass.

The single was released on a 7" picture disc, on 12" orange vinyl (limited copy pressing) and in digital download format.

The song was covered by Australian band GBVG (an alias of the Underground Lovers) in 1998 and became an indie hit.

[citation needed] The British synthpop band Blancmange covered the song on their fifth studio album Semi Detached in 2015.
