The song describes her family's lament that she isn't more of a Jones like her sister or brother Noel while she expresses her desire to be free.

[1] In the song's introduction Jones adapts a line from the first stanza of "Amazing Grace" declaring, "You can't save a wretch like me".

Time Out London described the composition as "among the most personal songs she's ever recorded, celebrating the contradictions between Grace's religious family background and outré public persona".

1,000 12" singles were released featuring mixes by Mad Professor, Greg Wilson, Ivor Guest and Aeroplane.

[2] A music video consisting of clips from the June 2008 Meltdown performance, dubbed with the edited studio version of the song, premiered on Hurricane's official website in early January 2009.
