Marr composed the music then Sumner wrote the lyric as
engineer Owen Morris played him the song every four bars. Marr was reluctant to
layer multiple guitar parts as he was wary of treading ground, but Sumner
convinced him otherwise.
During recording, Primal Scream backing singer Denise Johnson
added a vocal at the end of the song. She went on to provide additional vocals
on a number of songs on Electronics second album Raise the Pressure five years
later.
