The lyrics to the song were originally intended for another composition from Welcome To Wherever You Are, which later became the album's opening song 'Questions'. The original version can be heard on the 2002 remaster of the album.

Australian singer Deni Hines featured as a backing vocalist on the song, and went on to marry guitarist Kirk Pengilly a year later in 1993.[2]

The song appears on the compilation album Barcelona Gold, released to coincide with the 1992 Summer Olympics.

B-sides

The B-sides include a solo composition "Firma Terror" from bassist Gary Beers, another by lead guitarist Kirk Pengilly titled "Light the Planet", and "Deepest Red", an out-take from the X album.
