The b-side "Goethe's Letter to Vic Chesnutt" was not written by typical Hefner songwriter Darren Hayman, but, according to Hayman, a "guy called Mathew who I no longer keep contact with. He was in this band called the New Bad Things who are most famous for a song called 'I suck' which [John] Peel played every night for about four years."
Track listing
The single was released on compact disc and a 7" vinyl record. The compact disc version contains all four tracks, while the 7" only contains the first two.
