Tim Rogers said that the song was "very consciously" recorded with "boppy" horns, rather than distorted guitars, reflecting the music the band was listening to at the time. "You Am I were rock for four years, but we wanted to make something different."[3]
The video clip directed by Andrew Lancaster won the award for best video at the 1996 Aria awards.
