- The collaboration began with exchanged voice notes and culminated in a two‑day session at Invada Studios in Bristol, where Tompkins recorded while she had a cold.
- Jason Williamson describes the song as a kitchen‑sink portrait of isolation, loneliness and the exhibitionism tied to drug use.
- Andrea Arnold directed the video near her childhood home in Dartford, featuring the band, Tompkins and local participants.
- Rough Trade’s Jeanette Lee suggested Tompkins for the project, a pairing Williamson embraced after hearing her distinctive voice.
