Arriving in the wake of their star-studded Glastonbury Festival set, which featured Foo Fighters Dave Grohl and former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, the song offers a fresh take on the band's new wave sound, guided by Chrissie Hynde's resonant and calming vocals. She said:
"I suppose that’s the most traditionally Pretenders-sounding song on the album, in the vein of Kid or Talk Of The Town or any of the mid-tempo ones over the years. I often see love and relationships almost in the same vein as drug addiction. Although, having said that, I know I am jaded, and cynical… The Buzz on Hate For Sale visited the same theme."

They'll appear at the UK's BBC Radio 2 In The Park in September, following North American shows as guests of Guns N' Roses. They also have European concerts in the diary.
